Set System Restore Space Allotment
Much criticism has been
dealt to System Restore and the amount of space it uses by default
on the system drives, but there are circumstances where you might
want to allocate more than the default 12MB it can consume on each
drive. This registry edit allows you to choose the amount of space
allocated.
|
[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as
detailed below.
Data Type: DWORD // Value Name: DiskPercent
Setting for Value Data: [Set the percentage of drive to
be used, i.e 18 would equal eighteen percent]
Exit Registry and Reboot |
To
avoid the inherent danger of editing the registry, the same results
may be obtained by using the procedure detailed below.
|
If you want to reduce the amount of drive space allocated to
System Restore, I suggest you use the following method.
Right click My Computer > Properties > System Restore tab.
Select the individual drive and use the [Settings] button to
allocate the space. |
