Adjust System Restore Default Timing Parameters
By default, System
Restore creates a restore point of the system every 24 hours and
saves restore points for 90 days. The GUI doesn't allow modifying
the default settings but it can be done via this registry tweak.
It's important to
remember that the settings in this tweak are measured in seconds.
Just to save you the math time, there are 86,400 seconds in one day,
3,600 seconds in one hour, and 31,536,000 seconds in one year.
