Hey I need to know how to set up so that system restore will create a restore point every 24/48 hrs automatically. Is there anyway to do this?! Can anyone help me out? I need to do this on windows XP, but it would also be nice if someone could show me how to do this on Windows 7 as well.
 
For XP:

"Scheduled restore points

In addition to creating restore points before certain events, System Restore provides users with the ability to restore to other specific days and times. It does this by creating a restore point every 24 hours of calendar time. By default, System Restore will create a restore point every day that the machine is running. These restore points are only created during idle time; for example, when there is no mouse, keyboard, or disk i/o activity. Scheduled restore points saved and compressed (NTFS only) are made available to the user, in the event of a problem, through the System Restore user interface. Also, users have the flexibility at any time to manually create and name a restore point from within the System Restore user interface."

In other words, System Restore points are made automatically every 24 hours in XP. :)
