How can I make Windows XP automatically create a restore point when I shutdown or restart my computer? This is a great idea for those who always trying new software. Here is the clue mate ;)

1) Create a blank document in Notepad, then copy and paste in these codes :-

Set IRP=getobject(”winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore”)
MYRP=IRP.createrestorepoint(”Automatic Restore Point”,0,100)

2) Click on [ File ] –> [ Save File ], then choose where you want to save the file (any where you feel good) and put in the filename as [ autorecover.vbs ] and save

3) Click on [ Start ] –> [ Run ], then key in [ gpedit.msc ] and OK. The Group Policy editor will then appear.

4) On the left column you will see the [ Computer Configuration ], then double click your mouse on [ Windows Settings ] , you will then see the [ Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) ] and you should left click on it. On the right hand-side column, right-click your mouse on the [ Shutdown ] and choose [ Properties ]

5) In the [ Shutdown ] properties dialogue box click on [ Add ] and then [ Browse ] to the file you save earlier (autorecover.vbs) and choose it. Click [ OK ] –> [ OK ] and close the Group Policy editor.

6) Done!!!
