[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 361533, member: 53582"] Mate, forget that - it's a waste of time (in my opinion), if things get really screwed up and you try to roll back it does stupid stuff like rename folders/application directories etc (it's crap). I use Acronis True Image to take backup images - you can throw anything at your PC and if it turns to crap you can COMPLETELY restore it to your saved image. You'll never need to do a clean install again!!!!!!!! (just do a backup image of the basic O/S so that if you ever need to roll that far back it's just sitting there waiting :) )Windows restore doesn't come close. You could also try Norton Ghost but I've never liked it - I found it too much of a mission to use (Acronis is VERY easy) but that was a few years ago so no doubt it's better than it was. Just my opinion though.... Dave [/QUOTE]
