ATTN:: MVP's Scannow question

[GreyTop]

When I run sfc scannow I wind up with less drive space.
On my computer this morning I had 12.0 gig free prior to running
scannow and after I only had 11.4 gig free.
I run scannow often and every time the hard drive free space is the
same. I thought that the purpose was to replace or restore files.
My question is how does the files get buggered every time when all I
do is read the news groups and surf the Internet.

I don't think it's a case of the System File Checker not working
correctly...

If you regularly surf, have you run Disk Cleanup to delete your Temporary
Internet Files?

I know it is working correctly. I just don't understand where the
extra space comes from.
This is the same on my other computer also.

I run disk cleanup at least twice a week. I have it set to delete
internet files on close in the options

It's probably copying files to the dllcache area. Files are =
automatically taken from here when they are overwritten elsewhere so the =
CD isn't needed. Manually running sfc also repaires the dllcache.

I think that would explain it anyway thanks for the info.

Cleaning the temp internet files would have no effect whatsoever in Sfc,you
should go to run,type:%Temp% then edit tab,select all,delete all,close-out,
empty recycle bin.For more info on Sfc try. kb310747
