What code do you mean? and what has it to do with your program?
Do you mean
sysdm.cpl?I have it able to make a restore point so if they want to revert anything they could
but i dont know how to make it open system properties
Run
sysdm.cplok so
Process.Start("sysdm.cpl");
?
That didnt work
brought me here im trying to get it to bring me here
It's the same cpl, my guess is that the latter was opened with admin privileges
Almost all Windows operations are wrapped as PowerShell cmdlets, so for your case, use
Checkpoint-Computer to write a .ps1 file, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/checkpoint-computer?view=powershell-5.1 and then pass it to powershell.exe in Process.Start.Checkpoint-Computer (Microsoft.PowerShell.Management) - PowerShell
The Checkpoint-Computer cmdlet creates a system restore point on the local computer. System restore points and the Checkpoint-Computer cmdlet are supported only on client operating systems, such as Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. Beginning in Windows 8, Checkpoint-Computer cannot create more than one checkpoint each day.
pretty sure there are APIs for that
