Restore Point Description Text
When an application calls the SRSetRestorePoint function, it can provide any text as a description for the restore point; however, the following table shows the recommended description text.
| System modification | Restore point type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Application installation | APPLICATION_INSTALL | Installed AppName |
| Application modification (add/remove features) | MODIFY_SETTINGS | Configured AppName |
| Application removal | APPLICATION_UNINSTALL | Removed AppName |
| Device driver installation | DEVICE_DRIVER_INSTALL | Installed DriverName |
Installers, such as Windows Installer and InstallShield, use these conventions for the description text:
- The product name follows the verb; for example, Installed AppName.
- The product name can be used alone (AppName) or the product name and the company name may both be used (MyCompany AppName).
