is there a way to disable shadow copy but retain restore point function

I am reading on some sites about shadow copies and how you have old versions
of each file

I dont want this function because I want the pc to go faster..

how can I disable this without removing the restore point functionality?

In other words I want Vista to behave like XP did, where you had restore
points but not old versions of files..

thanks

I'm not really sure if you'll want to disable Shadow Copies.

It's sort of like a souped-up "Recycle Bin" that works even when you
don't delete files. Have you ever edited and saved a Word document, or
saved some other file when you didn't really want to? Normally that type
of screw-up would mean the original file that you wanted to keep is
gone. Shadow Copies is the perfect means with which to recover these
files, and can in some instances when used on an entire folder, recover
files that you deleted and then emptied from the Recycle Bin.

Many people feel that they are "experienced enough" to not make such a
blunder. But trust me - The next time you're in a hurry, or are under
pressure to complete a specific task, you can and will make mistakes
that will leave you wishing you had Shadow Copies enabled to help you
recover.

Just my two-cents worth...

Manually create a restore point (as needed) and disable auto restore a
well as the shadow copy service

You can also disable VSS by drive
