In this tutorial we will show you, how to create a shortcut to system restore point, so that you can set restore point just on a double click.
Normally, to restore or create a restore point in Windows 7, you have to go to the System Restore tab from Start menu > Control Panel > System and Security > System, then have to click the System Restore link in the left pane.
Microsoft, by default, does not provide a shortcut to System Restore.

About Abhishek
Thank you very much. I have tried Visual Basic Script from other websites that did not work for me, but this works for me on Windows 7 64-bit.
Welcome and thanks Ronga for the kind feedback.
Visual Basic script to create shortcut to system restore point may be blocked by the system itself in Windows 7 64 bit OS (depends on previous log that is kept for malware / virus attack too!) to keep the security on. It appears to Windows 7, a suspicious malware is taking advantage to intrude in to the system.
We are glad to know you have enjoyed it.
Thanks for taking the time to help persons like me to that know computer “tricks” exist but can’t do them ourselves!!
