See List of All Available System Restore Points in Windows  

Hello @Brink,

I have put this CMD Batch Script together to extract the information which could possibly be an added option in the Tutorial:

Code:

@echo off
fsutil Dirty Query %SystemDrive% > nul && goto:[RunAs]
echo CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^). ^
ShellExecute "%~0","+","","RunAs",1 > "%Temp%\+.vbs" && "%Temp%\+.vbs" & Exit
:[RunAs]

echo.
PowerShell ^
     $Arr_EventType=@{100='BEGIN_SYSTEM_CHANGE'; 101='END_SYSTEM_CHANGE'; 102='BEGIN_NESTED_SYSTEM_CHANGE'; 103='END_NESTED_SYSTEM_CHANGE'}; ^
     $Arr_RestorePointType=@{0='APPLICATION_INSTALL'; 1='APPLICATION_UNINSTALL'; 10='DEVICE_DRIVER_INSTALL'; 12='MODIFY_SETTINGS'; 13='CANCELLED_OPERATION'; 16='OTHER'}; ^
     $Tot=((Get-ComputerRestorePoint) ^| Measure-Object).Count; ^
     $List=(Get-ComputerRestorePoint  ^| Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending ^| Format-Table -AutoSize ^
     @{L='Creation Time'     ;E={;if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($_.CreationTime))     {'-'} else {$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.CreationTime).ToString()}}}, ^
     @{L='Description'       ;E={;if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($_.Description))      {'-'} else {$_.Description}}}, ^
     @{L='Sequence Number'   ;E={;if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($_.SequenceNumber))   {'-'} else {$_.SequenceNumber}};A='Left'}, ^
     @{L='Event Type'        ;E={;if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($_.EventType))        {'-'} else {$Arr_EventType[[int]$_.EventType]}}}, ^
     @{L='Restore Point Type';E={;if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($_.RestorePointType)) {'-'} else {$Arr_RestorePointType[[int]$_.RestorePointType]}}} ^| ^
Out-String -Width 1000).Trim("""`r`n"""); ^
     if ($List.Length) {Write-Host """`n--- System Restore Point(s) [$Tot] - Sorted by [CreationTime -Descending] ---`n`n `n`n$List"""} else ^
                       {Write-Host """`n--- NO System Restore Point(s) Available ---"""; exit 1} >> %Temp%\A.txt
     for /f "delims=" %%i in (%Temp%\A.txt) do echo. %%i
     del %Temp%\A.txt

echo. & echo ^>Press ANY key to EXIT . . . & pause >nul & Exit

NOTE:- If the %Temp% folder path contains spaces and special characters etc, then enclose the path in quotes.

@thename,

This might also help with your data query !

I have put my post back to the original Script and added a Note in case the %Temp% folder path contains spaces and/or special characters etc, which would apply to a negligible percentage of people.
