Hi Bert,
That is what I am using with the scheduled tasks. I am using three of them one for each time.
Your way does sound better. although my way doesn't need any intervention. Your way I have to remember to launch it.
Right?

I see. Another option would be to use the SysRestorePoint.exe script to create a restore point with no user intervention. Place a shortcut on the script on the quick launch tool bar and use it just before a change is made to the system. This way you would have a guaranteed restore point.

I am probably going to change it permanently to every 12 hours.
I just also feel that is more a convenient setting.

No, changing the "RPGlobalInterval" registry value specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that System Restore waits before it creates the automatic restore points. Using a Scheduled Task is another way of doing it. I'm curious as to why you want to create so many restore points?

Hi Bert,
The problem you may run into is if the system doesn't get enough free idle time a restore will not be created.
What is meant buy this? Is this the same as duration?
When I tried to make three instances of SR with one Scheduled tasks it asked about that and said the duration had to be
longer than the repetition interval. So I canceled it and made three separate schedules.
