I disabled system restore but it keeps writing to the hidden folder "_restore". what a stupid function. every few days the folder accumulates until drive C: is filled up (I have 1 gig free on C:). Then I have to boot and and delete the folder in DOS (can't delete in windows). what's wrong?
are you sure that the system restore is disabled?... verify it from time to time... my gets mysteriously enabled sometimes by itself... if you disable it the contents of restore folder should get deleted. you can also ste the space reserved for system restore to minimum

I'm not sure about this but I think that the Restore folder is also used by System File Protection, so that even if you disable Sys. Rest. the folder will remain with some items in it.
If this is misinfo. no doubt Miro will correct it.Lesley

Go to start, run, type in msconfig, click on the startup tab and take the check marks out of *Statemgr and out of PChealth. Click Apply and then ok. That will perminately disable system restore

Thank you all!. The problem was solved by unchecking *Statemgr. By the way, what is the s--- it (winme) writes there that occupies as much as 1 gi in a few days? (until no bytes are left on C:). I mean I don't change the configuration that often and that much. I surf Internet a lot but I always disable java so there's nothing that can write something in system registry and thus the configuration changes. Is it a bug?
