SysRestorePoint.exe is a small VB utility that will allow you to create a System Restore Point, with no user intervention.

There are now two versions:

v1.0 - When run automatically creates the Restore Point with no dialogs or notifications, unless there is a problem creating the Restore Point.

v1.1 - Displays a dialog while the Restore Point is being created, and a dialog will show that the Restore Point was successfully created or not. If it was successful, the dialog will automatically dismiss after 5 seconds.

v1.2 - Modified to work with Windows Vista.

Usage: Download the appropriate file and extract the contents to your hard drive. Create a shortcut to the EXE that you extracted. This shortcut can be placed in your Start Menu, on your Desktop or even your Quick Launch bar. To run this utility every time the system starts, simply place a shortcut in Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. Restore Points are listed in the System Restore Calendar as "Automatic Restore Point" along with the time it was created.

v1.0 - SysRestorePoint.zip
v1.1 - SysRestorePoint_v11.zip
v1.2 - SysRestorePoint_v12.zip (Works with Windows XP and Windows Vista).

This utility is only intended for Windows^® XP. If run on Windows 2000, it simply won't do anything. It may crash if the VB 6 runtimes are not installed, but it will NOT create a Restore Point, regardless.
