Description:-System Restore is a component of Windows XP Professional that you can use to restore your computer to a previous state, if a problem occurs, without losing your personal data files (such as Microsoft Word documents, browsing history, drawings, favorites, or e-mail). System Restore monitors changes to the system and some application files, and it automatically creates easily identified restore point(s). These restore points allow you to revert the system to a previous time. Restore points are created daily and at the time of significant system events (such as when an application or driver is installed). You can also create and name your own restore points at any time.
If this service is stopped, System Restore services will not be available.

Description:-The Task Scheduler service allows you to perform automated tasks on a computer. Using Task Scheduler, you can schedule any script, program, or document to run at a time that is most convenient for you.
With Task Scheduler, you can:
- Schedule a task to run daily, weekly, monthly, or at certain times (such as system startup).
- Change the schedule for a task.
- Stop a scheduled task.
- Customize how a task runs at a scheduled time.
Each scheduled task you create is stored as a .job file in the X:\Windows\Tasks folder. The .job file contains the properties and configuration information for the task. You can create a scheduled task on your computer and then drag the .job object over to a remote computer. After you drag a task from one computer to another, you must update the account information for the task before it will run. Removing a scheduled task removes only the .job file from the schedule. The program file the task runs is not removed from the hard disk.
When you first install your Windows Server 2003 family operating system, the Task Scheduler service is started. By default, you must be a member of the Administrators, Backup Operators, or Server Operators group on the local computer, to view, add, edit and delete scheduled tasks, or disable, pause, or restart the Task Scheduler service.
If this service is stopped or disabled, scheduled tasks will no longer run.
