Okay, how about this to make it up to John.
Some info for those with Windows Me that some may find helpful:

For those who may have more than their share of Restore files adding
up on their puter they can go to Control Panel - System - Performance tab -
File System -Troubleshooting tab, and check the box for "Disable System
Restore" click
Apply and exit. System will reboot. Allow it time to delete all the old
restore files and then go back in and remove the checked box to enable
System Restore again.

The _Restore Folder in Windows ME is where Windows copies periodic backups
to and is used for the system restore if you need to restore to a previous
state.
The disk space used can be set lower by clicking the system icon in control
panel,
clicking the performance tab,file system button, then slide the slider down
for less space used.
The system default is 12% of your drive, too much on today's larger H.D.'s
Right click on My Computer go to the performance tab click on file system on
the H.D. tab you will see the slider. 1200MB on a 30G.B. is a suggestion.

Just be vawy, vawy careful. Restore is there for a reason. But you don't
need the oldest of those files. Always back up to a seperate source before
deleting such things.

Better John?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
