The unique way to delete _Restore Thursday, August 28, 2003 at 2:32 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Nicolas Van Der Hack (1 messages posted) This is the only way that i know, don't bother to find another one. First boot from your boot diskette and then remove the attribs from c:\_restore with this command attrib -r -s -h c:\_restore Then use this command deltree c:_restore and sit back and wait some minutes, about 30 on my PC. Some moment it will be gone and then you can relax. You will see it again next time you reboot but you can delete it from windows this time. Just with right click. It works for me, i hope it works for you too. 'cause disabling it or shrinking the size of the folder doesn't work. Written in response to: re: Can I delete _RESTORE ?
