Am tired of XP littering all of my removable hard drives with the system restore folders. Is there a way to keep system restore enabled for the two permanent hard drives in my system, but prevent it from adding all new drives to the list of monitored drives? I use a combination of USB and 1394 removable hard drives.
Here's a technique that should stop the external drives from being monitored by System Restore.

Currently running XP Pro with C: as the OS drive and D: as a data drive, these never change, well almost never.
There's most likely no good reason to monitor the D: drive either because System Restore doesn't monitor data files.

Am considering dual-booting with Vista Ultimate soon also, will i have the same issue with it?
The good news here is by default Vista will only monitor the drive/partition Vista is installed.
The bad news is that if Vista is installed along with XP in a dual boot scenario using the Vista bootloader, after booting into XP all restore points/shadow copies will be lost in Vista.
Dual Booting Windows Vista & Windows XP:
