Have you ever thought "I had better create a restore point" before I make the changes to my system that I am thinking of only to forget to do it and have a mess of a system because of it? Well I have so this quick little blast from the past tutorial should help to make it just a click away from doing. I am telling you this little beauty of a program works and quickly. And the best part is you will never see the window to the left if you use this method. The System Restore utility automatically creates a Restore Point if it senses a change to the system, or even some application, files. If you'd like to instantly create a Restore Point, read this Windows XP tip to find out how all it takes is two lines of VBScript. However, there's a great method for creating a Restore Point with just the click of your mouse. All you have to do is create a simple two line VBScript file that uses the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) moniker to access the SystemRestore class and create a Restore Point. Here's how: Â - Launch Notepad.
- Type these two lines:
Set IRP = getobject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore")
MYRP = IRP.createrestorepoint ("My Restore Point", 0, 100) - Save the file as InstantRestorePoint.vbs.
