System restore filter can't process file

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

Hi Marc,

Do a search of all drives for modules.ini. If this file is not located on the
drive/partition Windows is installed on, I would suggest you stop System Restore from
monitoring that drive. In most cases, it is not a good idea to monitor drives other than
the one System Restore is installed on.

How to disable a monitored drive in System Restore.
