Turn off System restore


Recommended Posts


im not aware of a method to remove it completely, however in my RunOnceEx.cmd i use this line...

REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\srservice" /f /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4

Essentially it disables the service so when XP starts for the first time post install, system restore is disabled.

regards, theunknown

Can be done through a GPO (Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / System Restore / Turn off System Restore) or by changing the corresponding registry value:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
"DisableSR"=dword:00000001

XP only!
