Thanks Clint that is what I wanted to know. I have checked the folder normal restore calender when it says it making a restore point and nothing is in there so you are right Off is Off.

I do not see an obvious place to put the instructions. LarryB Have a great day Clint Hamilton-PCWorks Admin wrote: > You don't need XP's Restore on with ERUNT.
