System Restore creates a restore point
roughly every 24 hours. This, of course, is assuming your pc is left on all day
and every day. If you regularly turn your pc off then a system restore point is
created 24 hours, or thereabouts, after the last restore point. If 24 hours is a
little too long for you, you can alter the length of time taken for System
restore to create a restore point. Depending upon what you actually want the
time frame can be 6 hours, 12 hours, or whatever you like.
Please Note: To rectify the problem
you will need to edit the registry, therefore, before you proceed, you should
ensure that you have backed up the registry either from within regedit itself or
by using the third party software called ERUNT.
1/ Click the Start button
2/ On the Start Menu click Run
3/ In the Run dialog box type:
regedit and then click the OK button
4/ The Registry Editor window will now
open
5/ Navigate to the following location
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\microsoft\windowsNT\currentversion\systemrestore
6/ In the Right hand pane of the registry
Editor you should see a DWORD called RPGlobalinterval. If this
DWORD doesn't exist then create one by Right Clicking on the System
Restore option and selecting New then DWORD from the drop down menu
7/ The RPGlobalinterval default
setting should be 86,400 seconds (24 Hours). To reduce this restore figure to
say, every 12 hours, Right Click on the RPGlobalinterbval Option
and, from the drop down menu, select Modify. In the Modify dialog
box first change the Base to Decimal and then type 43200 or
whatever period of time you want the restore point to be created in the Value
Data box. Next click OK
8/ Finally Exit the Registry Editor
