'Hey Pirillo -- some of us are stuck with Windows Millennium Edition (ME). What about some tips for us?' First, my condolences. Second, do you really need that System Restore feature? Or, what if you have a better, third-party backup utility? Now, before I tell ya how to do it, be sure it's really what you wanna do. Open your Control Panel, click on the System icon, flip to the Performance tab, then select File System. Under the Troubleshooting area, be sure to place a checkmark in the 'Disable System Restore' box. There, does that make ya happy? Ugh. You're insatiable. While were turning things off, let's get rid of that PC Health thing; it's making me sick. In the Windows \ Pchealth \ Support folder you'll find the PCHSETUP program. Create a shortcut for it on your Desktop; pull up that newly-created shortcut's properties. In the Target line, add: "/uninstall" (sans quotes) and close the sheet. Double-click that shortcut's icon and you're in business. Or, out of business, as the case may be.
