Resolved Set System Restore Point script

This solved my problem, The post is 6 years old but deserves an Olympic gold medal so I repeat it below. Thank you Rusta wherever you may be:

"You can also make a small script and keep it on the Desktop. All you need to do then is to click this and a "fresh" Restore Point is created.

Here's how to create a script that will create a restore point when you double-click it:

1. Open Notepad, type the following listing and save it with the file extension .vbs. Important! Make sure that you enclose the file name in quotation marks so Notepad doesn't add the .txt file extension to the name. For example "SystemRetore.vbs" or whatever you want to name it. Whatever you call it, it must end in .vbs. If you don't enclose the entire file name in quotes Notepad will save it as a plain text file and it will be useless to you.

Copy and paste only the text in "Blue" below to a notepad file and save it as explained above.

Set SRP = GetObject( "winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore" )
CSRP = SRP.CreateRestorePoint( "Before Changes ", 0, 100 )

2. Double-click the script file you just created, any time you want to create a fresh System Restore Point.

It only takes a few seconds to do this. And no dialogues are shown to confirm that a Restore Point was created. If you want to double-check you can click "Start" "All Programs" "Accessories" "System Tools" "System Restore" and click "Restore My Computer To An Earlier Time" . You'll see the restore point you just created (called "Before Changes ") right there. Now be sure to cancel out of System Restore.
