Running a simple script to make a restore point is more to my own liking. I even put a copy of the script in my Startup folder, for a System Restore Point every time I reboot. It has a distinctive name, "Hacked the Registry" so it stands out among the other restore points made by windows. I know that name was meant to be a joke, by the original writer, but it also serves a valuable purpose. Set SRP=GetObject("winmgmts:\.rootdefault:Systemrestore") CSRP=SRP.CreateRestorePoint("Hacked the registry", 0, 100) Copy and paste the above two lines into "Notepad" (NOT Wordpad) and save as: Set Restore Point.vbs Save the file wherever is most convenient for you and just run it to make yourself a new restore point. Windows will put the time and date on the Restore Point along with the name, "Hacked The Registry", so you'll know it was the one you created.

CSRP=SRP.CreateRestorePoint(“Hacked the registry”, 0, 100)

Set Restore Point.vbs
