Analysis and restore point creation by Windows Vista can eat a fair amount of system resources. Disabling this service will obviously mean the system restore feature in Vista will not be available in the event of a system crash. Change this at your own risk.

To disable this service:

  • Control Panel>System
  • Click System Protection on the left panel
  • Uncheck the main system drive
  • Agree to the confirmation
