The system properties will appear, click the System Protection tab.  Look for the drive marked with “System” – this is the drive where Windows 7 is installed.  The protection for this drive is on by default – if not, click it to turn it on.  You may turn on the system protection of other non system disks.  If you do this, you can restore previous versions of files inside those drives.
