If you want to create a System Restore point in Windows you need to navigate deeply into the Windows Control Panel to do that. That’s not comfortable if you want to quickly create a system restore point before making changes to the system.
A solution for this is provided by Doug Knox who created the application Sys Restore Point which can create a System Restore Point by double-clicking the executable of the program. The software works from every directory it is placed in and does not have to be installed.
It is furthermore compatible to Windows XP and Windows Vista and creates System Restore Points without user input. The Microsoft .net 2.0 Framework is required to run the latest version of the software.
Doug gives the tip to create a shortcut to the file executable and place that shortcut in a location where it can be launched quickly. It is even possible to add it to a scheduler to create a System Restore Point as part of a scheduled process.

Using a special software utility for this is just overkill, it’s not necessary at all.
At the How-To Geek website you’ll find a description of how you can do exactly the same (creating a one-click System Restore) with a shortcut to a simple three-line VB script.
