What about System Restore Points? By default, Windows XP creates a restore point after installing Windows XP, once every 10 hours that Windows XP is running, or every 24 hours. It also creates a restore point when you install a new program, or install an update to Windows XP. And you can manually create restore points at any time. You can end up with a number of restore point files, which can be large.
So how do you clean them out? First, make sure your system is stable. There will be a brief period when you won't have a restore point.
- Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click System Restore.
- Click to add a check mark beside Turn off System Restore on all Drives, and click Apply.
- When you are warned that all existing Restore Points will be deleted, click Yes to continue.
- All system restore points are deleted. Now you should manually create a restore point.
- Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click System Restore.
- Click Create a Restore Point, and then click Next.
- Name your restore point. ( I use the date as well as a descriptive term such as "After Restore Point Deletion.")
