The automatic restore points created:
- When the windows install updates
- When the user installs the unsigned drivers
- when the system running 24/7.. the restore point will created for every 24 hours
- when the system starts after being off more than 24 hours
By default, Vista creates a system restore point about 30 minutes after you start up the computer - but only if you are not actively using the computer - in other words, if you are busy browsing the web or writing a text document or sending out emails, it will hold off on creating a restore point. I'm not sure what the default is for XP systems.
Note that you can set the frequency to whatever you want.
The answer is very hard to answer
A computer makes system restore points quite often. It ranges from when you install/uninstall programs, to just logging onto Windows.
Checkpoints
Vista uses the System Restore utility to both create restore points and to rebuild the system from those restore points.
System Restore uses a feature called System Protection to regularly create and save restore points on your computer. These restore points contain information about registry settings and other system information that Windows uses. You can also create restore points manually.
Restore points are created before new device drivers, automatic updates, unsigned drivers, and some applications are installed. Or before you install new software or hardware or make other changes to the system.
It is used to create restore points.
It does not create restore points. They are created when you install software or that piece of software you are using creates one as in Revo Uninstaller. It creates a restore point when you uninstall other software, if you wish. You can also create one manually.

the system creates restore points when it is running at its peak. restore points by user should be created before deleting or adding new software or changes to operating system. this way you can restore to old settings if conflicts exist when changes take place.
