    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.
