Scarecrow Man Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 sfc (system file checker) is in all windows OS's. XP just has the option to add a /scannow argument.http://support.microsoft.com/?id=185836http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=syste...osoft.com&meta= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisMcCarn Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 sfc (system file checker) is in all windows OS's. XP just has the option to add a /scannow argument.Except Windows ME which supposedly does it on the fly and assumes a system restore will fix everything.........

andsome Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I have used sfc /scannow several times in the past. Just what is a sfc argument?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 These 'arguments' (such as /scannow) are actually called software switches; they influence what a certain command line program does.Most programs accept a software switch of /? that outputs information on available software switches.
