Problem

Previous Versions tab in Windows has no shadow copy snapshots.

Cause

Shadowcopy is disabled by default on the desktop.

Solution

Use task scheduler to run the following command at a desired schedule:

wmic shadowcopy call create Volume='C:\'

Each time this is run it will create a shadowcopy snapshot allowing you to restore accidentally deleted or overwritten files.
