I had by default, the max limit I could allocate. And it did not let me
make multiple restore points -- or rather, I could make them, but they
were not saved. Only the last one that XP made on its own was saved.

I am reminded of the very simple, handy program called Config.bak that I
used with Win98 to make copies of the reg to roll back to whenever I
wanted. I thought System Restore in XP worked the same way but it
appears to be very inflexible.
