I got a Windows 2000 computer from a garage sale, and I think it is set to system restore whenever I log out. I wan't to disable this so I can save files to the computer, and not have them disappear next time I log on.

This is may not be system restore because I don't use system restore or know exactly what it is.
If this is ANOTHER setting please offer your assistance then too.

Thanks for the help guys. I don't BELIEVE Win2000 has system restore.

Are you able to log on as administrator?

Any used computer should be formatted and Windows reinstalled to remove the previous owner's baggage. I don't suppose you got a Windows CD with this?No, but all I know is that when I save things to the local disk, and log off they aren't there the next time.

If I connect to a network drive and save stuff there it is safe.

So if you make a new folder on the C drive called "Stuff" and put some file in there neither the file NOR the folder is visible?
