Disable System Restore

[neophyte]

Just wondering if anyone out there has managed to find an automated way to disable system restore on one disk, in a two disk system (ie, disable on d:, but not on c:).

I wish to do this to my secondary disk, cheers.

You can't, disable is only for all drives. The only thing you can do is use the slider.

Probably a Reg setting (use a registry scanner to find out wich one)

Well I guess my operating system must be trying to trick me.

Yes, I have scanned the registry for any changes, but the results were not usefull at all.

I've also tried google and kellys-corner, but that was like walking through semi-dry cement.

Owkay... didn't look good enough... you can't disable it on the systemdrive only..

but nevermind... i've got some spare time today and look in to it...

I'm pretty sure it could be done using a vbscript, but I'm not fond of those.

hm put some effort in it.. but can't seem to figure out where the setting is stored.. (yet!)

To disable

disable.vbs

Dim SRP, eSRP
Set SRP = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:SystemRestore")
eSRP = SRP.disable("D:\")

To enable

eSRP = SRP.Enable("D:\")

Need \ and in quotes. Enjoy
