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
