Checking Windows ME files
 
Suppose you think a Windows ME computer is missing some Windows files,
or some are damaged. How would you check? I think SFC doesn't exist
on Windows ME.

HTH.

Ben.

"Dave,

Win Me doesn't include SFC but instead Win Me contains the far superior
System File Protection mechanism which prevents the replacement of system
files by ill mannered and badly behaved installs.

Win 98/98SE's SFC file replacement capability is replaced in Win Me by
MSConfig, which has a File Extract ... button on the General tab.

If however you are used to using SFC for logging and monitoring files,
changes, versions and dates then the good news is that yes SFC still works
fine in Me but should ONLY be used for logging. All that is required are
the files sfc.exe and sfcdll.dll from 98/98SE (perhaps also sfc.hlp if you
use it). Do not bother with default.sfc from an earlier OS but rather set
up your own SFC configuration (file extensions and folders to be
monitored) once installed in Me. I did this when I first installed Win Me
and continue to use SFC but only for logging changes to my system files,
not as a tool for replacing them. I also do so on my PCs running XP.

Thanks Ben.

I should perhaps amend the first paragraph to read
"... the replacement or DELETION of system files ..."
