Shoshoni Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Go to BlkViper and create your own service file. At system Restore set it to disable.By the Way I used JdeBoeck's method to get rid of sysrestore completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benners Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 If you dont want it installed at all, delete the sr.in_ file in the I386 folder and replace it with the attached file, this works for me and a tab is not visible on the system properties sheet.I have had no errors or problems during install or normal running.sr.inf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolice Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hi benners !Is that mean, I should rename your sr.ini file to sr.in_ as well, or just simple copy it to i386 folder ?Many thanks,Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I think I've got the most simple way: edit the .reg file attached below to your needs to enable/disable services.I don't know who made it, but it isn't me. I got it somewhere on this forum, I don't remember where. All credits go to the author.EDIT: forgot to say: you have to add it to the registry through cmdlines.txt (T-12)services.reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benners Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 @cooliceJust delete the sr.in_ file and copy sr.inf to the I386 folder, setup will use the expanded inf file if present, as happens with svcpack.inf, or use Bashrats reg file, just know that this changes other services' start up state as well, services your config may need running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only want to set the service System Restore, you should remove the other registry entries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 why would you want to do that?Why WOULDN'T you wanna do that? System Restore is completely useless for many people, it only wasteds hard disk space. ( I hate it too myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 System Restore is completely useless for many people, it only wastes hard disk space.Hmm..... when you know what you are doing, and there's no chance of you needing to Restore, yes - remove SR. Also, it sometimes comes in the way when you are trying to replace protected DLLs in the system directories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what our unattended Windows CD's are for? :s B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
