How do I disable the "System Restore Service?"

This is valid for Windows XP Home and Pro.

If you are experiencing "random" slowdowns and "high" CPU usage for no reason, this may be the cause of the problem. Where do you find it?

Turning off "System Restore"

Start, Control Panel Performance and Maintenance System System Restore Tab
Start --> Control Panel -->Performance and Maintenance -->System -->System Restore Tab.

Check "Turn off System Restore."

After that, Disable and Stop the System Restore Service:

Disabling of "System Restore Service"

Start, Control Panel Performance and Maintenance Administrator Tools
Start --> Control Panel -->Performance and Maintenance -->Administrator Tools -->
Services Select System Restore Service Disable the Service
Services -->Select "System Restore Service" -->
(Double Click)		Disable and Stop the Service
