System restore point creater Wednesday, January 11, 2012 3:42 PM (permalink)

Hello...i have searched all over the net for what a solution to my seemingly simple problem but  to no avail, so i thought i would try in here and ask some professionals. I was looking for a simple way to set up a system restore point with a shortcut in XP and came across a small script which will do just that however it will only work when i have my services set to default settings. I usually have a lot of them turned off and in this state the script will not work. My question is ..which services do i need running in order for the script to work? I have tried WMI and Ms volume shadow copier as these are the only services i thought might help. Does anybody know a solution to my problem please?

    We can't tell you much without seeing the script.

      Thanks  this is the script its very simple
      rp = "Manual Restore Point by " & WScript.ScriptNameGetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore").CreateRestorePoint rp, 0, 100

      I worked out that i needed 'event log' as well as WMI to be running for it to function and it works grand now...Thanks again.
