It will be deleted won't it ? Got me, you're the techie here. According to the message I keep getting from McAfee, I need to shut off write protect. Unless that info is in the Bruce e-mail you mentioned, I still have no clue how to do that. NOTE: If you disable this service, your previous "restore points" will be deleted. If, for what ever reason, you do not want this to happen, do not disable this service. At the moment my restore points only back about a week. So I'm not really worried about them. Dale
