| | Hello Shortmantuff, Yes, you can disabled the startup task in Task Scheduler for this. There is not one for shut down though. System Restore Task - Change Automatic Restore Point Schedule - Vista Forums Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Missing System Protection Tab on System Properties I've just installed Windows 7 Home Premium and want to create restore points as I install apps. The problem: there are only four tabs on System Properties and the System Protection tab is missing! I checked Volume Shadowing service; it was off, so I set it to automatically start and then re-booted, but still no Protection tab. I have plenty of space on the C: partition, although when I first did the install I had a smaller partition, which I subsequently enlarged to 400gb. - Tom |

| | Hello Tom, and welcome to Seven Forums. You may have had something go wrong during installation. Was this a clean or upgrade install that you did? You might consider doing a clean (format) install instead or again to see if it is there afterwards. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Missing System Protection Tab after 'clean' install Shawn, Thanks for your reply. I did a 'clean install' which seemed to go without a hitch, and I have already installed 32 apps and performed additional organization and configuration of the new system. Doing another 'clean install' would be very 'distasteful' and a repeat of more than a day's work (I do not do these things, hastily). I was using a 3-pak installation disk. Might it have a different 'build' with things missing? I understand that in some builds, some essentail drivers had not been included, causing installation headaches. So, if it is true that a new restore point is created after each exit/reboot, perhaps I'll forgo the luxury of setting the restore point, manually, and just reboot whenever I want to set a new one. Of course, I'd lose the labeling feature of a manually set restore point. Whadaya think? - Tom |

| | Tom, Normally a restore point will be created at each startup if a change to the system has been detected since the last restore point that was made. However, since you are misssing the "System Protection" tab, System Protection may not be enabled to have any restore points. See if running a sfc /scannow command, then restart the computer afterwards may be able to restore it. |
