well i guess i do what should never, ever, be done. i ALWAYS turn off the
system restore, and leave it off. (I think this opinion comes from
Windows Me, which introduced the 'System Restore', and insisted that i
had a hidden directory on the root of the c drive named _RESTORE.)
from what i've read here, it a 50-50 shot on whether or not doing a
system restore will fix whatever ails you.
i also disable windows file protection as well.
why would not having the restore on cause you NOT to be able to use any
of your data files if you have a _configuration_ problem ?
the restore's not going to help anything if there's some type of data
loss that would require actual data recovery. what makes it more
difficult to rescue files is if the disk is NTFS, or even worse,
ENCRYPTED NTFS. I'm not saying that FAT32 is better than NTFS either,
just to each his own.
of course i'm not your average user that looks for help here either, and
i understand the implications of my configuration choices.
regards,
DanS
