Nevertheless, it is a nice new feature. SR acts as damage control for problematic software installations. If a new application installation corrupts or damages vital system operation files or settings, running SR will correct errors and problems. It resets the system to the last recorded working configuration. ME saves backup data every 24 hours, or every 10 hours of continuous system use.
SR also offers the ability to manually perform a backup at any time.
Auto Update is another powerful utility. It searches the official WinME site for new patches or updates every time WinME connects to the Internet. AU then gives a choice of downloading the new files. If the files are selected for download, AU downloads the new files, but only during times of low Internet usage, so normal activities, such as web surfing, will not be interrupted. Passive downloading is a nice option for those with slower dial-up connections.
