Hello again Bert,
The System Restore function does not appear to be the problem. When I reboot
the computer,each time 0.8 GB is added to the disk. A series of reboots shows
total files on disk C properties window to be: 13.0 GB, 13.7, 14.5, 15.2,
16.0, 16.7, 17.5. All this on successive reboots and without adding anything
to the disk. That explains why the disk is filling up, not the System Restore
function. Any suggestions? Thanks very much.
Regards,
augfl

When System Restore (Windows XP, 80 GB disk, SP2, Dell Dimension computer.

more than it should, and far more than the 1 GB that it is set to accumulate.
Using Disk Clean Up to remove all but the most recent Restore Point fails to
delete this excess data. The only way to remove the excess data is to turn
off and then turn on System Restore. The slider for System Restore is set to
just 1 gigabyte, but wherever it is set doesn't matter. The same excess
accumulation occurs. How can the System Restore function be set so that it
doesn't accumulate more data than it is supposed to? And what data is it
accumulating? No downloads of files have occurred to fill up the disk. The
files and programs only take up 10 GB. Only turning off and on the System
Restore will delete these excess files.
