Disable system restore

[Sanix]

I'm a new user of AutoIt. First of all, is there any ebook or something where I can learn the scripting sequentially?

My question is how can I disable system restore uring autoit?

lol Because he wants to make a so called "Hack" in auto it, no there is not, as system restore is done before you load ANY programs or anything, even startup programs. This is not possible in AutoIT

Going to sound like I'm busting your chops here, but I'm not. It's one thing to discourage someone from doing something, especially if they signed up and their very first post is something questionable (such as this), but another to give false information all together.

I understand that, but he has been viewing this topic since you asked him why, without reply, and even after what I've said he has not came up with a reason. I'm not meaning to discourage or give false info, but what reasons could ANYBODY want to disable system restore, besides for malicious use?

Yes TK is right, I do want to create a hack in autoit .. but not just for the sake of disabling system restore. But I'm working on a virus removal tool that needs system restore disabled first. So I want to disable system restore from autoit automatically without user intervention.

first thing with me. load OS, disable sysrestore. ~Jap

I have System Restore disabled by default in my NLite build.

You are wrong to think that disabling it is a security risk. The system restore file that is generated can be cracked easily and you know what else? System Restore doesn't do shit! End users run it every time they get a popup, next thing you hear "I can't find my family photo album and internet explorer doesn't work"

Oh, did you do a system restore? Sorry end user.

Trying to remove spyware? Oh crap its still in the system restore file after i've deleted it. Dang, wish I had disabled that.

This is what will Enable / Disable the System Restore.

$strComputer = "<ComputerName>"

 $objWmi = ObjGet("winmgmts://" & $strComputer & "/root/default:SystemRestore")
$objWmi.Disable("")

ConsoleWrite ("System Restore disabled")
