They save installation time only in the sense that a restore is quite a bit faster than reinstalling the system from scratch. :) If one restore point does not do what you want, try an earlier one.

The restore points are only used when you manually run the System Restore program and restore to one of the saved settings. Restore points are deleted automatically by the system when the allocated space is reached. You don't need to do anything about them. -- Scott. -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
