WinXP Diagnostic Startup

I got the answer to this question from a Microsoft MVP. The answer is yes,
Diagnostic Startup deletes System Restore Points.

Maurice,

When I select Diagnostic Startup, I'm not given the option to check Load
System Services - it's greyed out. Is something wrong with my WinXP? If I
select the Selective Startup option, I can check Load System Services. I
assume if I use the Selective Startup option, I need to select Load System
Services to keep my Restore Points?
