Create A System Restore Point In Windows 7

Posted by on Sep 3, 2010 | 5 Comments

Windows automatically creates a restore point when new program or device is installed. However, there are times when Windows may not recognize that a new program or device is being installed. Therefore, it is a good practice to manually create a restore point each time you install a new program or device. Doing so ensures that a restore point is available in the event that problems arise from the installation.

To create a restore point in Windows 7:

  1. Click the Start button and click Control Panel.
  2. Click the System Protection link.
  3. Close the System window.
  4. From the list of available disks, select the disk for which you want to create a restore point. Verify that that System Protection is turned on for the disk.
  5. Click the Create button.
  6. Type in a description for the restore point and click the Create button.
  7. Windows will create the restore point and notify you when it is complete.
  8. Click Close.

    Actually, the System Protection link is found in the Computer Properties window in Windows 7. Click on Start, right click on Computer, click on properties. Look in the upper left corner.

    If it has DRM, I’m not spending a cent on it. It’s the general consensus among consumers, so why isn’t the music industry listening? You’d think that they would listen to the people they’re trying to sell their product to.

    Yeah. I agree, because the pirates are great at cracking copy protection and the legit users aren’t good at that and they have to find a media player that plays drm protected music

    I had to remove all the DRM protection from all  my music so I could upload it to my non apple MP3 player so I could listen to it while training for the L.A. Marathon. DRM is too inconvenient. That is why I no longer use iTunes for anything. I don’t like being told what I can do with my music purchases.

    Yeah Apple might talk about having a lack of piracy prevention to help decrease the amount of piracy but as any linux user knows everything put on an ipod is encrypted and is a pain to sort of
