Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / March 2007Prevent System Restore from Replacing Websites
When I do a system restore, it rolls back all of my IIS websites. If I'm in the middle of developing a new ASP.NET site and do a system restore, I lose all the work I've done since the restore. Is there a way to configure the restore to not include these files? Hi, What is the extension of the files you are loosing, and where are they kept? List of files and folders System Restore monitors: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/filesfolders.html Regards, Bert Kinney MS-MVP Shell/User http://bertk.mvps.org Member: http://dts-l.org > When I do a system restore, it rolls back all of my IIS websites.

Specifically because of System Restore, the (new) XP "rule" has been to NEVER NEVER NEVER put your personal files into any place other than inside your My Documents folder (or the Shared Documents folder). Do Not Use Folders at the Root of a drive, a common DOS/Win95 practice. This is because SR will revert any folders that are outside of My Documents, but never touches the contents of My Documents (it will revert other folders inside your profile tho, such as desktop). Old habits are hard to break... > Specifically because of System Restore, the (new) XP "rule" has been > to NEVER NEVER NEVER put your personal files into any place other [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Documents, but never touches the contents of My Documents (it will > revert other folders inside your profile tho, such as desktop). This is not true. System Restore restores the operating system. It doesn't touch other folders, whether My Documents or other non-ooperating system folders.

Original Question: Is there a way to disable that part of the system restore? > > Specifically because of System Restore, the (new) XP "rule" has been > > to NEVER NEVER NEVER put your personal files into any place other [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > touch other folders, whether My Documents or other non-ooperating system > folders. The .cs extension is a monitored file type. I have the same problem with .nod files used by the website builder I use. I would suggest keeping a current backup of these files or direct them to a partition/drive that is unmonitored by System Restore.
