It's okay, if you actually have anything to hide they've already gone over it for you. If there's anything unseemly they'll delete it for you, like this senior (former) CBS reporter's Benghazi coverage:
It's a feature. Because Big Brother loves you that much.

Just type 'Restore point' in the start menu search box.
BTW, WIN 10 has system protection turned OFF by default. Just lovely.
Cheers
Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Vista turned on many protections by default which XP had turned off by default. People screamed bloody murder about how hard Vista was to use because of it.

Bat's turds! (queue Batman TV show theme music)
Pow! Splat! Plorp!
It's not as if the government can ever completely prevent interference, and I'm sure the regulators realise that. After all, any sufficiently capable person can just go out and buy the components required to build transmitter as powerful and interfering as they like - limited only by their access to money.
The intent is really just to ensure that products that are sold, and thus likely to be around in significant numbers, do not cause interference. That fact that a small number of people know a wifi router can be reflashed, potentially allowing the router to cause interference, is not important in the scheme of things.

Thanks.
Found on boot drive partition (HTFS): AsBreakpoints.xml (was empty). Found folder on drive second, FAT: _restore{B5D6F507-9D12-4573-A2C2-9DB44BF06067} which had two files of exactly(!) the same name: RestorePointSize, one in subfolder RP7 and the other in subfolder RP8.
So, if Win2K is hiding real restore points on a different drive (D: not default system C:), would not it find a really inconspicuous place if there was only the one drive? And worse,the newer OSes (WinXP, Win7, Win10) be nastier?
Actually, it s VERY inexpensive to create interference: an inductor and a power source used in ZZZzzsssspark-Fraaap mode.
No one said that regulators made any sense but what's the point of regulating one sort of transmitter and not an identical transmitter that just happens to be integrated into another chip?
With SDR, it's a little more complicated than you pretend. The code
*is* the transmitter.Then why does it make sense to regulate this at all? Why just one sort of device?
Presumably, there are already regulations in place to penalize use of mods that create interference. A blanket criminalization of performance enhancements that do NOT otherwise create interference is unnecessary and counterproductive.
If I discover my router is hostage to a botnet, and the mfr is unwilling to help, what then are my options? Become a criminal by trying to pry free of the botnet, or become a criminal by allowing a (presumably criminal) botnet to use my resources in their enterprise?
Buying another router just pushes the problem back one level; how long until the botnet people figure out how to hijack IT?

AND just like the virus guys are the same guys who make the virus catch and release software, these guys could well be the router makers, since many opt for the "buy a new router" path.
It is truly a sad world.
Skype, an MS product, fails to work right on a hi res display under Windows XP, 7 or 8, and the bat's turds won't fix it. On Windows 10, however, the texts scale fine.
Folks used to buy another watch when their old one dies, because is cheaper at consumer hardware levels than repair personnel are.
This "toss it away and get new" paradigm that seems to be "the norm" nowadays sucks so bad, it sucks at sucking.
I finally discovered that none of that mickey mouse crap ("safe mode", "restore point", "repair disks") works or can work if one has a multi-OS HD; ie: more than one partition, each with a different bootable OS.
Furthermore, you better not have another HD like that in the Secondary Master position (maybe so bad that any physical bootable second HD). What will happen is that Windoze will re-assign the swap file to another to a different logical drive,and the original HD will no longer boot because it cannot find the swap file. It then becomes totally impossible to fix the problem for that HD; one is stuck forever to use the 2-HD configuration. Been there many times; re-did the HD from scratch each time (umpteen hours installing OSes, programs for each, etc).
PUT ONLY ONE BOOTABLE OS on a given HD for sanity!

Proof that you use antiquated gear (by electronics standards).
IDE and "master/slave" has been out the door since the introduction of SATA. The solution is to place your Linux OSes on a different physical drive than your Windblows installation, and use a USB drive bay.
But an IDE mobo as old as yours is probably also too friggin old to boot from USB too.
Gear up, boy!

Not if you have brains enough to set the swap file to a user managed state.
Doh!
How many years have you been so in the dark about this? Oh, that's right... right up until today, and maybe even still.
On Thu, 10 Sep 2015 01:28:25 -0700, Robert Baer Gave us:
You ain't real bright, and your living with it only proves that YOU never solved it by simply taking over the management of your swap file and its location. DOH!

For the sanity of actual intelligent folks, you should not be giving computer build advice.
Is this something that you've just run into multi-booting with Win7, or was it something that occurred with an earlier version as well?
You must have to use pretty large HDD to accomodate a Win7 OS partition, perhaps larger than earlier OS were/are comfortable with.
I've never seen swap file confusion, between OS, as you describe.
