How could XYplorer be set to run Windows Restauration Point?

[cadu]

Thanks!

Do you want to open system restore window or you want to create a restore point?

[cadu]

I would say both!

OK. XY does not have those explicitly, it will just make use of shell commands like run or something similar to use already available methods.
For example to open system restore one would call rstrui.exe from Start>Run. In XY it would be:

Code: Select all

//Open system restore window
   run "rstrui.exe";

For creating a system restore point itself is two steps.
1) Create a new vbs script by pasting following text into a text file and save it restorepoint.vbs:

Code: Select all

Set IRP = getobject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore")
strDescription = InputBox("Restore point description: ","My Restore Point")
MYRP = IRP.createrestorepoint (strDescription, 0, 100)

2) Call restorepoint.vbs by using run:

Code: Select all

//Create restore point
   run """wscript.exe"" ""C:\Users\abid\Desktop\restore.vbs""";

This script works out of the box:

Code: Select all

//Create Restore Point
//Will write a small vbs script to XY's scripts folder. You change the $pathtovbs below

 $pathtovbs="<xyscripts>";

 $vbs=<<<VBSSCRIPT
Set IRP = getobject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore")
strDescription = InputBox("Restore point description: ","My Restore Point")
MYRP = IRP.createrestorepoint (strDescription, 0, 100)
VBSSCRIPT;

  writefile ("$pathtovbs\restorepoint.vbs", "$vbs","n", "t");
  wait(1000);
  run """wscript.exe"" ""$pathtovbs\restorepoint.vbs""";

In attached image is the way (as a script) I am trying to implement "restore point" to run from XYplorer.

I am afraid it isn't write...

Any tip about the right way?

It seems right. Are you having problems?

[cadu]

It didn't run.
I found the file in system folder to add by browse.
But it wasn't there. If I open through Windows explorer it is there.
Strange...

Should have asked before, what's your OS?

[cadu]

Windows 7 - 64 bit

rstrui.exe is located in %WinDir%\System32, which wreaks havoc with WOW64 Redirection. Some quick experiments with the Sysnative alias got me nowhere, unfortunately.

Can you confirm if this file exists:
%winsysdir%/rstrui.exe

If so, try this:

Code: Select all

//Open System restore
   run "%winsysdir%/rstrui.exe";

[cadu]

Much strange!

I can see and run the file "rstrui.exe" and others through windows explorer.

I can't see through XYplorer (it seems the script doesn't act because that).

Even browsing through XYplorer doesn't give me access to this file (attached image shows that).

XYplorer is set to show hide files...
