Death to the System Tray

You know, he has a point. I am so used to the system tray that I don't even bother to think about how useful it could be or not.

Now for the second part of my post:
My sisters computer had restore points on her computer, but now it has all this ad-ware and spyware on it and most of it has been removed.

Yet, now there is no restore points on the system. Not even the restore point the system had by default.

Does anyone know how to get the system resore points back or should I just erase the hard drive and re-install everything?

thanks yrag. but the problem is that there were system restore points before and now they are gone even though the restore point is set to "on".

Its the wierdest thing I have seen on XP. I can't see something like system restore points just 'disappearing' without turning them off...


hmmmmm....

Seems you cleared your Restore Points by cleaning out the C/

I would recommend running your SpyWare programs, Spybot and Adaware. No need to clean out the whole computer. Try this too http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/supportus.phtml
