Does anyone know how to selectively delete the restore points in windows XP ? In what folder are the restore points saved? --- Wally

I'm not sure if this is the information you want but I just go to Start, PC Help & Tools, System Recovery, I then button "Restore my computer to an earlier time" and then choose the exact point I want it restored to. I know you know that, Wally, because I only answer easy questions. So it must be something else you are asking for :-) --- Harold

The FAQ for System Restore is here (See the "How To" Section):

I have done that, but then it occurred to me that if I created enough restore points, I wouldlose the first one I created. I really wanted the first one.I then wanted to delete some of the intermediarypoints to regain space so the first point would not be forced out to make room for newer points.It seems this is not possible --- Wally

Now I understand what you meant by "selectively" ... I'm never selective in restoring; I just go to the last point I think will work and start from there. If necessary, I'll work my way back, back to the day I bought the computer if necessary (whch is not far from the truth if I have to do a complete system recovery). Maybe Hugh's link has the asnwer; seems to be a good page to hold on to. Congratulations on your new Compaq Presario SR1910NX, Mine is a year old, a Compaq Presario SR1520NX, and I'm happy with it. We can compare notes offline. --- Harold
