Should anything go wrong with your system, the easiest way to get it back to a working state is reverting to a System Restore point. Friendlier than the Windows System Restore and with added features, Restore Point Creator offers everything one would need to manage System Restore points.
Installation & Requirements
Restore Point Creator is a free application with a standard setup: only a few basic settings (that work fine in their default state) and a speedy setup will get Restore Point Creator up and running on your system in no time.
The program is very light on system resources and runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. However For Windows XP there are limitations, namely you will not be able to delete System Restore points because the OS doesn’t support this feature.
Interface
Restore Point Creator’s interface incorporates all of the program’s options and functions in a single panel for ease of access. The latest System Restore Points are listed here and you can quickly create a new one with the title you want or use the “Create system checkpoint” option that will create a restore point named “System Checkpoint made by System Restore Point Creator”.
The System Restore Point Utilities menu allows you to perform various operations like delete old restore points, manage system restore storage space, view and clean the log of deleted restore points. The restore point deletion option will automate the process and you can decide for how many days to keep restore points before removing them.
Also, the Task Scheduler is one of the most important features offered by the program. You can set up automated creation of restore points at specific hours and week days and you can do the same for the deletion tasks, making sure that you don’t end up with too many old restore points using valuable storage space.
