Hi all, thought i'd ask the experts since the Microsoft guys didn't seem to 
have an answer.

We've got a problem with system restore on clients computers.  We have a 
parental control product and currently the kids can remove it by using 
system restore.

I've found that if i use the windows interface GUI 
(MyComputer->Properties->System Restore) and turn of System Restore, 
previouse restoration points are deleted.  So basically i want to turn off 
system restore before i install our product and then turn it back on again, 
thereby creating a fresh restoration point after installation.  The user is 
prompted to this effect but i can't seem to determine how to diable System 
Restore without having to reboot the computer.  Since the insatller must 
also install some drivers, this means a second reboot which looks sloppy.

I have read many posts on google about using the registry to disable SR and 
also stopping the srservice service but nether seems to turn off SR without 
a reboot.  I've also looked at the only two api's - SRSetRestorePoint() & 
SRRemoveRestorePoint();  My thought was that i could use the remove restore 
point to delete existing restore points.  However, there does not seem to be 
ANY way to enumerate restore points without using WMI and the MS scripting 
ActiveX.

Any help or pointers would be excellent
