Deletion of your Temporary Internet Files is a seperate issue. System Restore is far more important http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];290700 Did you download the patch (Q 290700)that cures the September 8th issue (Replaces smgr.dll with ver 4.90.0.3003)? If not, do it. Reboot, (before System Restore really worked for me), I had to reset it: System | Performance | File System | Troubleshooting and check "Disable System Restore", Apply and immediately reboot. This will flush your restore folder and erase all checkpoints, then: System | Performance | File System | Troubleshooting and uncheck "Disable System Restore", Apply and again immediately reboot. This should now automatically create a new checkpoint following the restart. Adjust the space allocated to the restore folder, System | Performance | File System | Hard Disk and adjust the restore slider to your preferred setting. It's a good idea at some later date to actually successfully use System Restore - Peace of mind. Good luck. Bill.
