I'm trying to find a source control for my own personal use that's as simple as possible. The main feature I need is being able to read/pull a past version of my code. I am the only developer. I've looked at a lot of different version control systems, but they all seem way more complicated than I need. I need one that's simple, runs under Windows, and doesn't expose itself to the network.
Specifically, the version control system should not require exposing an HTTP interface, it should interact with the local filesystem only. It just needs to be a version control system geared for one guy and one guy only. Graphical UI is a plus.
Does anyone know of software would satisfy what I'm looking for?
Thanks!

Windows comes with many great built-in tools that, unfortunately, are hard to discover and even harder to use. One of these is its built-in file versioning tool called File History. Once set up, it can keep copies of old versions of all your files and documents.
Traditionally, Microsoft's software has used a version control system called Source Depot.
Subversion is great -- you can run the server yourself or use something like assembla.com to host your code (although that exposes it to the network).
There are numerous gui applications like tortoise svn that would allow you to interact w/ the source control repo
