Turning Off System Restore

When you install Windows XP (Or when it comes pre-installed), Windows XP keeps a backup of system files in the System Volume Information folder. This system can take up large amounts of space on your Hard Drive which you may not want it to. If you no longer want Windows to back up your system files please do the following.:
Open the Control Panel
Double click on system
Click the System Restore tab
Check "Turn off System Restore on all drives
Click Apply
You can now delete the System Volume Information folder.
Warning! If you turn this off you will not be able to use Windows System Restore to restore your system in case of failure
