as far as i can tell, there are 2 system restore files in windows,
c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe & srdiag.exe.
diag tells you what's being monitored, hdd1=on, hdd2=off, hdd3=on, etc. that
translates to 1,0,1 in the registry. ..\rstrui.exe, 101. and the disk spase usage
in the registry is ...\rstrui.exe, -2048 (or whatever).
running rstrui.exe from a dos prompt with any command line command only brings
up the restore window.
running srdiag.exe from a dos prompt and a /? brings up the 2 commands usable
and writes some log files in the c:\windows\system32\restore\ directory.
you could probably change things using a macro that manipulates the gui window.
having said all that, there is a system restore API.
