Explore system restore points

I’ve done a little more work on my System Restore point explorer, and it now actually allows you to explore :)

I’ve made use of the excellent AlphaVSS library which exposes the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) API’s as native .net objects. I’ve been having a few issues accessing these in Vista x64, but I have tested this in Vista x86 and it appears to be working ok. Again feedback is welcome via comments.

    Hi!

    Maybe some one could help me. I succeed in saving a locked file with the VSS under WinXP, but I can’t restore. Each time I use a method for it, the system tell me that it is not implemented (error code 0×80004001).

    All my C++ source code is here:

    thanks in advance for any help
