Not sure if Freeola want technical posts on all IT subjects, but this may help the web-builder with a computer issue whilst they're building their sites....
Anyway, I was asked by a guy in work how to minimise the amount of hard disk space used to create restore points in Windows Vista (XP was a lot easier) and my research concludes at this:
1. Click
2. Click on
3. Click on
4. Right click on
5. Type:
This will tell you the current total memory allocated to System Restore.
To resize:
Do the same as above but for step 5 type:
(Replace 10GB with whatever size you want, remembering that the smaller the size, the less restore points will be created)
You should then get a message saying “Successfully resized the shadow copy storage association
Hope this helps someone :)
