Update: i moved the vbs file to windows folder which got rid of the error but now when i right click create restore point it does nothing
help still needed please.
Hello Johnny,
As a test, does it work properly when you directly run the .vbs file?
The context menu is basically just a shortcut to run the .vbs file.
In addition, double check the stuff at the top of the tutorial to make sure everything is ok for it.
it does nothing when i click the vbs or the right click option not sure why,
im on windows 8.1
Since you're on Windows 8.1, try the newer version of this context menu below instead to see how it works for you.
Be sure to remove the old one first.

i think we are getting closer it pops up command prompts to fast to read tho,
but i checked system restore and it didn't make a restore point tho.
As a test, if you manually create a restore point in System Protection, does it get created for you?
System Restore Point - Create
yes it does
@mrdreamers,
Sorry for the late reply. I was getting a W7 VM up to date and doing some testing on it for this to see if anything may have changed.
After testing, the .vbs file still works for me to create a restore point.
Do you get a UAC prompt when you run the .vbs file?
If not, then check to make sure your UAC settings are at default.
User Account Control - UAC - Change Notification Settings
i usually keep that off but i put in on default for this but it still did not work, should i try deleting all restore points then try it?
Did you restart the computer to apply after setting UAC back to default?
No need to delete your restore points.
