System Restore ?

I noticed today while digging around in System Restore's settings that
it has monitoring enabled on my Gateway computers recovery partition. I
disabled it as I don't think monitoring that partition is necessary. Am
i right?

Probably. Have you created recovery discs yet?

That's what I did. The recovery partition should remain untouched, so
monitoring it scares me.

I also turned off its drive letter in Manage Storage.

It is not necessary - but is anything gained for turning it off? Do you want
to free space on this partition?

System Restore monitors specific types of files -> .exe, .vxd, .dll, .com,
and .sys extensions.

So the only risk is that if some of these type of files were modified
accidentally or maliciously a system restore may recover them if it was
turned on.
