Vista enables system restore to automatically create restore points

  
System Restore for the normal operation of Windows system I believe friends are very clear, simply put, when the Windows system fails, we can use the previously created system restore point to Restore the system without having to reinstall it to avoid the loss of important data and programs. After enabling System Restore in Windows Vista, in addition to manually creating system restore points, the system can also automatically create restore points, especially when the system monitors changes, such as installing new hardware, patches and applications, in addition, Windows Vista It also automatically creates system restore points for a certain period of time—the default interval is one day—to ensure that we can restore the system to its most recent security state. However, sometimes we may need to change the time interval for Windows Vista to automatically create a system restore point. For example, to save disk space, you may want to increase the time interval for Windows Vista to automatically create system restore points, while changing the system frequently. Maybe you want to automatically create a system restore point at a higher frequency. So, can Windows Vista support such "flexible" customization? The answer is obvious. This can be done by modifying the registry. Here are some specific steps: Enter "regedit" in the search box of the Windows Vista start menu to open the registry editor, find the following registry branch: HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE, SOFTWARE\\Microsoft, Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\SystemRestore, on the right In the panel, find the registry key named "RPGlobalInterval"; double-click the registry key to see that its value defaults to 86400 (decimal) or 15180 (hexadecimal) - Note: the unit is seconds, that is, one day - - Modify it to the desired value. Restart the system after the modification is complete. The same method applies to Windows XP
