How to Automatically Create System Restore Points whenever the PC is Started or Restarted

This will make it really easy to create system restore points with just a couple clicks whenever the PC is started or restarted for whatever the reason, it'll be almost automatic; it'll make restore points available if ever needed.


Note
Credit for this goes to our own MVP and all around good guy Brink who wrote these "Restore Point" scripts, without whose dedication and hard work with the Windows Operating Systems none of this would even be possible.
Thanks Shawn! :)

Lets get started!
1) The first thing that needs done is to download the file you want to use; to create a restore point with a description click the button below and select to save the file to the desktop.

2) To create a restore point without a description select the file below and save it to the desktop.

3) Now r click the zip file on the desktop, and select "Extract All" and you'll get a window like this below, leave that window open and navigate to C:\Program Files in Windows Explorer (not "Program Files (x86) if you have 64-bit Windows). At the "Restore_Point Shortcut" file window r click the "Restore Point Shortcut" file and click cut, now in the "Program Files" window click an empty spot and click paste. Then close the Program Files window.4) Now in the start menu navigate to and r click the "Startup File" to open the Startup file window; now back at the "Restore_Point Shortcut" window r click the "Create System Restore Point" shortcut and click cut, then in the "Startup" window at an empty spot click paste. Now if you want a shortcut on the desktop to create a restore point whenever needed (without restarting the PC) r click the "Instant Restore Point" shortcut in the Startup window and select send to, desktop (create shortcut)5) You're done, now close all the windows and if you want the zip and the restore point files that you downloaded can be deleted from the desktop.

To use the shortcuts you just created.

6) Whenever the PC boots to the desktop the first prompt you'll get (on the left) is "Do you want to open this file" click open then enter your user credentials for the UAC prompt and click yes.7) If you have chosen to use the restore point creator with a description this last snip is the last step in the process, enter the description you want to use and click ok to finish up, that's all there is to it; I use the one with no description and with 2 clicks at bootup it's done.Enjoy! :)
