System Restore ????

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

In the system properties biox, there is no tab for "System Restore".
Anybody know how to restore this tab & hence be able to set restore points
???
Thanks

John

I wound up fixing the problem by re-installing SP 1. I'll bet your's would
have worked though, I just couldnt remember where the toggle was!
Thanks
John
