Hi guys can anyone help me? I have searched for this but can't seem to find it. There was a way to reduce the size system protection used from your hdd through a cmd window????? If someone could please tell me that would be great.;)
 
Hi burnsy yes when you use system protection to restore to an earlier date. It is because vista allocates quite a large chunk of hdd upto 10gig and you could adjust it to use a lower amount.
It was in a thread on here which had other little tips and tricks in. One was about changing the start up screen from a progress bar to a Aero type pic. Does it sound familiar? All i remember was you had to do it through a cmd window. Thanks for taking the time to help!:D
 
vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=C: /for=C: /maxsize=2GB


type that in a cmd window, (run CMD with admin privalages)


personally i just disable system restore, it's pants :p
 
i never really install anything anyway, but if i'm fixing someone's machine, first thing i do is disable system restore, because viruses & crap hide in there!
