Hi,

I would like to turn off system restore on c drive since it is ON by default on windows 7.

I have tried the following 2 vbs script found in the net

script 1 ------------------------------


strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default")

Set objItem = objWMIService.Get("SystemRestore")
errResults = objItem.Disable("C:\")


script 2 ------------------------------

Dim SRP, eSRP
Set SRP = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:SystemRestore")
eSRP = SRP.disable("C:\")


However, when i click control panel -- system -- advance system settings -- system protection -- c drive is still show "ON"

Please advice and thank you.

Hi owl,

Thank for the reply ...

I tried your suggestion and run the script but when i check system protection the
c drive is still "ON".

Did you run powershell elevated? You need to do that to change these kinds of settings on your computer. Otherwise, did you get an error message of any kind? Because that's a standard, built-in cmdlet to do it so I'd be surprised if it didn't work.
