XP Pro SP2 Restore

[Guest]

Hello:

I noticed using XP, it is possible to cleanup all the restore points except
the most current one. Is this the only option? I like to be able to save
maybe up to 5 of the most current restore points. Or better yet, pick a
restore point and remove that one only. If XP doesn't do that, is there a
third party program that does it?

Thanks,

MarkC

Go to the system restore screen and click the left side restore settings,
highlight the C: drive and click settings.
Move the slider bar down to about 6%.

Thanks Jerry, I understand the theory behind this approach. I'll give it a
try.

One cannot save or delete individual restore points in
Windows XP. You can only delete all of them, or all but
the current restore point.
