Hi Shane, This is a wonderful product!
I regularly use the Win7 Backup/Restore (SystemPropertiesProtection.exe) to manually create a restore point before downloading and installing any programs. The Win7 backup allows me to name the newly created restore point. For my purposes and for ease of restoration, I always use the format "B4<downloaded filename>". The Win7 Backup/Restore utility automatically appends the date and time to each backup I create. When I wish to restore my system to a previous backup point, a descriptive list with my assigned registry backup names and associated time/date are presented in a top down array. The backup description allows me to conveniently choose the correct restore point without having to remember what time/date stamp correlation I require to get my system back to a previous "secure" point. This is quite useful when I download and install various applications in the same day.
So, after all of this, I was wondering if this backup registry naming convention exists in your application; and if not, would it be feasible to implement with your current design?

Not a bad idea :-)
Right now the program stores a text file with the backup that has the system name and OS info. I could use this text file to store a name for the backup without having to change much.
Let me see what I can come up with :-)

Thanks for the reply Shane. I hope you'll be able to capture and store the entered Registry Backup Restore Point name. FYI - my longest Registry Backup Restore Point name in Win7 is 25 characters (excluding the time/date stamp).
