I switched off System Restore to run the Virus checker after one of the recent worm infestations, and forgot to put it back on. Having had an error on loading XP today, I switched System restore back on, to find that there were (apparently) NO restore points saved before todays date. Is this right, or can someone point me to where my (many) previous Restore files are stored?

TIA

Yes that's right mate, once you turn off system restore, all restore points are deleted.

Thanks Johnny. Bummer that, as McAfee advises you to switch off system restore (and switch it back on) without warning of the consequences of so doing, when you run tools to remove E-Mail worms!!!
