That's right.  Right-click the drive concerned, pick Properties, and under 
the pink/blue pie chart there's a button labelled "Disk Cleanup".  The 
resulting dialogue box has an "Advanced" tab if you have Administrative 
privileges, and one of the options there is to remove all but the last 
System Restore point.  You can also change the proportion of your disk used 
to store them (that's your only option on ME).  Win2K and other versions of 
Windows don't have Restore Points.
