What am I missing?

[poatt]

Have PC. Onlyprofile on it is administrator.Me.

What am I missing on System Restore. There are partitions that I do not

need,or want, for System restore to monitor.

But "Drive Settings" in 'System Properties/System Restore' the choices are

greyed out. ie; Turn off System Restore(disable by Group Policy) and Turn off

System restore on this drive in Drive Settings. I have checked in services in

administratyive tools. Botj System restore and RPC and started and on auto.

Maybe one could show me what I'm missing. I'm getting too old to remember

this stuff.

Your System Restore settings have been disabled by Group Policy or by a

Registry Edit.

If you have XP Pro, you can use the Group Policy Editor to change this.

If you have XP Home, you will have to manually edit the Registry, or use

a .reg file to do it for you.



This article tells you how to disable the settings...you need to enable

them instead (in method 3, setting it to 0 instead of 1):
