Resizing System Restore

from WinCustomize Forums

I am trying to change the size of the System Restore. but when I run CMD.exe as administrator the prompt says:

C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\DeskScapes>

how can I change this to be able run the command Vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage and change the size of System Restore.

Doesn't matter where you begin at the command prompt, vssadmin would run under c:\dogpoop\idontlikeit for all it cares.  lol

To give you piece of mind though, type in   CD\    at the command prompt and that will start you off right at the root   C:\  ..

If you need help using the switches with vssadmin, you can google it to get really in depth information about it.  If you don't feel comfy with that, reply here and I'll personally walk you through vssadmin commands if you so desire.  :)

I believe you just need to do a CD\ at the prompt. You must have been at that path at some point.
