Windows XP, Vista, and 7 users can also decrease the default space utilized by Windows System Restore and often gain several additional gigabytes of hard disk drive space. See the below steps in customizing this feature.
1. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and open System Restore.
2. Within the System Restore window, click System Restore Settings.
3. Within the System Restore tab you can either check the Turn off System Restore on all drives to completely disable this feature, or click the Settings button and decrease the space usage, which is what we would recommend.
