restore point setting will not turn off
I am running Vista Ultimate. Just installed SP1. Just installed Kaspersky.
I have just downloaded and installed PerfectDisk. When running PerfectDisk, the defrag map shopws many files that are ignored and will not move. In a lengthy discussion with PD tech support we turned of and tried to clear the restore point so that there would be no excluded files in the defrag. We tried everything to "release" the retore files. Vista showed that when we unticked the C drive the drive dshowed it had no resore point, but in fact it still had. For some reason we can't clear this. We have looked at processes running and there appear to be no other programs running with restore abilities (unless Kaspersky has). Any ideas on how to really turn off and clean the restore point. -- Cliff S.

Are you aware that there are studies showing that defragmenting a hard drive
has minimal impact on computer performance and less so with Vista--one of the actual advantages of Vista is background defragmentation. You may be chasing a non-existent problem. At least according to a recent issue of one of the computer magazines, but what do they know?

Default Vist defrag runs as a low-leve lutility and the default setting is
for it to run Wednesdays (Time? - check documentation). Low-level means it runs in the back-ground and releases resources if required by a running application. Regarding the subject of your post - there are protected system files which cannot, and will not, be moved/relocated, something of which I would expect PD support be aware.
