System Restore is a vital system in Windows ME it will automatically back up
|
|
configuration files at certain times which if something should go wrong you
|
|
can use system restore later. The problem with system restore comes with the
|
|
fact that it tends to lag a system with little ram as well as take up those
|
|
valuable system resources. Its recommended that if you aren't good at taking
|
|
care of your computer you keep this system in tact. Note that also it will
|
|
stop System File Protection from working, but you can use 3rd party
|
|
applications that will remove system restore and keep system file protection
|
|
on.
