System Restore Properties - "Turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy)"
Why does the system restore properties have a checkbox that says "Turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy)"? I have already tried everything at:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/srpolicy.htm
When I delete the "DisableSR" value, I no longer get the "System Restore" tab in "System Properties" and when I try to open System Restore by running:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\restor
it doesn't do anything. I have also tried to reinstall System Restore by installing sr.inf from C:\WINDOWS\inf
Thank you

Oh, I don't even think I saw that!
I was looking at the .reg file and I was wondering if I should add:
"MachineGuid"="{EAAFAEEC-4
That seems like it might be something specific to Kelly's computer. Either way, I'll run it and see what happens.

I didn't see that.... but I checked my registry and it's different, so you don't have to add that value, you can skip it.

I didn't add the whole .reg file but this seemed to be the fix:
