| | Noticed that I'm not getting the 12am System restore point, nor the significant driver update restore point (I installed the Windows 7 Nvidia drivers today, no restore created) - seem to have a few generated by installing programs - again not Nvidia. Is there a simple way to get the dailies or should I use Task Scheduler? |

| | Hello Charles, I'm not sure why Windows 7 would not have created a restore point automatically for that. You can use this though to easily create one automatically whenever you wanted to though. System Restore Point Shortcut Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Appreciate that tutorial - i did go in and do it manually and I'll probably grab the shortcut and put it in my documents or somewhere - don't need the desktop clutter. Guess I'll have to learn how to make a new task!............ Well, I made a new task using your vbs script as the program! Had a bit of an issue with permissions but finally it accepted my task. Set to run in half an hour. We'll see. Thanks again for the script UPDATE: all worked fine Last edited by Charles Kane; 23 May 2009 at 12:33 AM.. Reason: update |

| | All this seems to be very unnecessary. Why cant Windows 7 just auto create restore points similar to XP instead of all of us go thru all this modification?  I am dual booting XP and Windows 7 and was confused as to why restore points kept disappearing.  Now I know.My question is : does anyone know if this creation of a restore point only if none has been made in 7 days will be included in the GA of Windows 7? I hope not. I think an option to turn off this feature so that you would be able to automatically create regular/daily restore points would be more sensible. Am I the only one that feels this way??  |

| | Hello Smoaky, You can adjust or disable the System Restore tasks to create automatic restore points as you like. If you disable them, then Windows 7 will not create any automatic restor points. Either way. you are always free to manually create a restore point when you like. Hope this helps, Shawn |

Hope this helps, Shawn I have read the how-to on this a while ago but I am running a dual boot of XP and every time I boot to XP all my previously saved restore points in Windows 7 get deleted. Each time I boot to Windows 7 I would have to start all over again creating restore points. Kinda makes having system restore useless...yes? Seems as though MS doesn't want anyone to run no other OS but Windows 7. |

| | Not a problem Smoaky. You can use the tutorial below to hide Windows 7 from XP to stop XP from wiping out Windows 7's restore points. System Restore Points - Stop XP Dual Boot Delete - Vista Forums |

| | update Just found the How-to on stopping XP from deleting Vista/Windows 7 restore points. Thanks I guess my point is seems like alot of work. MS is trying to make Windows 7 as compatible as possible sure would have been nice for them to have thought about the people wanting to dual boot and keep us all from having to mess with the registry to accomplish this. |
