Corrupt File Check

[Mark Haupt]

In WIN98SE, there is a utility to scan all system files
and report on corrupt files. If any files were found to
be corrupt, you could rebuild them from a CD or download
from the internet.

Is there such a utility for WIN XP Home?

[Nicholas]

Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the resulting
Command Prompt window, type: SFC /SCANNOW , and hit enter.
You may be prompted to insert your Windows CD in the CD Drive.

SFC =3D System File Checker. SFC will scan your system and replace =
missing
or damaged XP system files with the correct version.
