    If you are referring to the random restore points that XP makes, these are only to get you out of mega poop, if you have a problem, and will basically just recover enough to get the system up and running again.

    XP with SP2 is supposed to create a restore point automatically, whenever you install something, but it doesn't always do it.

    It pays to make your own restore points at least once a week, and before you install any new software.( Not all software installations will create a restore point automatically)
