If, for some reason, you find that you must turn off System Protection, this is how we do it:
- Click Start | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | System (in Classic view, just System)
- In the left pane, click System Protection.
- Enter the administrator credentials or confirmation if prompted.
- Click to uncheck the box next to the drive on which you want to turn off System Protection.
- Click OK.
Word of Caution: Turning off System Protection will delete all restore points created for that drive. Turning it back on will not get them back!
