About the

All EasyLI Done!™ Series Tutorials are designed to accomplish
specific tasks on a step-by-step basis!
From connecting
two computers together to share files using a crossover cable
to setting up a secured
wireless network connection, these online tutorials are extremely
easy to follow. Although all tutorials were put together with the
novice user (beginner) in mind, advanced users will find a few tricks
to put to use also, such as 'How
to Force Windows to Shutdown' when it just won't shutdown normally.

Did you know? Windows reserves 12% of hard disk space for
the System Restore feature.
If you have a large hard drive, a considerable amount of hard disk
space will be reserved for System Restore. For instance,
on a 250 GB hard drive, 30 GB of disk space is reserved. That's
enough space to store about 42 music CDs! But remember, do
not reduce the reserved disk space to zero, because Windows
needs some space for System Restore to be able to restore your computer
to an earlier date, if needed.
Follow the steps below to reduce the amount of space reserved by
System Restore.

How to Reduce
the Amount of Space Reserved by System Restore
By default, Windows reserves 12% of disk space for System
Restore. On a 40 GB hard drive, that's a whopping 4,800
MB! On a 60 GB hard drive, that's 7,200 MB! Although
the more space you reserve, the more Restore Points you can
create, 1,024 MB (1 GB = 1,024 MB) is sufficient space for
System Restore to create several Restore Points.
Here's how to reduce the amount of space reserved by System
Restore:
|
|
Step 1: With the left mouse button, click on the 'Start'
button.
|
|
Step 2: With the right mouse
button, click on 'My Computer'.
|
|
Step 3: With the left mouse button, click on 'Properties'.
|
|
Step 4: With the left mouse button, click on the 'System
Restore' tab (top left tab).
|
|
Step 5: With the left mouse button, click on the Drive
you want to reclaim space on.
|
|
Step 6: With the left mouse button, click on 'Settings...'.
|
|
Step 7: With the left mouse button, click on the 
(slider) and continue holding down the left mouse button.
|
|
Step 8: Drag the slider to the left, to decrease the amount
of space reserved by System Restore.
My drive holds 250 GB, and setting the slider to the minimum,
which is 200 MB is not feasible. So in my case, 1% (3,041
MB) is the minimum acceptable value I can choose. I would rather
be able to choose 1,024 MB, but that choice is not available on
drives this large.
|
|
Step 9: With the left mouse button, click on the 'OK'
button.
|
|
Step 10: With the left mouse button, click on the 'OK'
button.
You have now reclaimed some of the space previously reserved by
System Restore!
