Location of system restores points windows 7
Location of system restores points windows 7
In XP if you use a live cd to boot up in the C drive you can see system folder it’s were all the restore snapshots are kept the higher the number the more recent
I have used this to manually copy files after renaming to system32/config folder when all else has failed
My question is where these are kept for windows 7 and Vista

Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools> and scroll down for it. You may want to place a shortcut on your desktop. Good luck and also with the Restore Points.

You have to enable "system files view" and you'll see System Volume Information folder in your C drive. Restore points are there.

Note that access to System Volume Information will be denied. I'm sure that it is possible to mess around with permissions and find a way in, but in my view it is a folder that is best left alone. System Restore is far more reliable in Win7 than it was in XP.

I doubt anyone will have the answer
M$ has hidden them somewhere, or radically changed thing

I've had the same dilemma. I'm offered only the last two system restore points, usually the same or previous day. Checking "see more restore points" does nothing. I have to read the article Robertw links to. Win 7 has thrown several curve balls.

I'm sure some of it is because of the never-ending cat & mouse battle between Microsoft and malware creators.
