Ted,

It looks like you've found a third-party alternative. Anyway, I'm posting a 
sample script which will rollback the system to a specific system restore 
point (sequence id mentioned).

- - -
Set Args = wscript.Arguments
RpNum = 156 'This is the Sequence ID
Set obj = 
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/default:SystemRestore")
if obj.Restore(RpNum) <> 0 Then
    wscript.Echo "Restore failed"
End If
Set OpSysSet = 
GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}//./root/cimv2").ExecQuery("select * from 
Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
for each OpSys in OpSysSet
    OpSys.Reboot()
next
- - -

Paste the contents to Notepad, and save it with .vbs extension (example, 
"restore_156.vbs") and run the file. It will reboot once, and System Restore 
rollback takes place on the next startup.

The script for "list of sequence of restore point" works fine, but the 
script
for "initiate system restore" is confusing, I can't make it work. Any idea?
