The default disk cleanup utility in windows that cleans the older system restore points is a drag. I am currently using tune up utilities 2009 just to clean up the old system restore points and then i run CCleaner to complete the clean up. You could certainly make it a lot easier for me if you included this feature. Leave it disabled by default so that only advanced users turn it on.
Moreover Vista doesn't allow you to control the space used by system restore. It defaults to 15% of the C drive. This usually takes up a minimum of 5GB in my case.

There is a way to change the % of the drive used by system restore in Vista via the command line. See detailed instructions here.
I agree it's rather annoying that there is no option to change this in some option panel. Personally, I would only change the default if I had a very large hard drive e.g. 320GB+. I find Vista system restore to be quite good, but if the % is reduced too much you may have problems trying to correct problems. On a 1TB drive, for example, it definitely does not need upto 150GB set aside for the system restore!!!
Hope this helps ![:)]()
Thanks a million for implementing the requested feature!! ![:)]()
