System File Checker
You can use System File Checker to verify the integrity of your operating system files, to restore them if they are corrupted, and to extract compressed files (such as drivers) from your installation disks.

You can have System File Checker back up the existing files before restoring the original files. You can also customize search criteria based on folder and file extension.

System File Checker is located \Windows\System\SFC.EXE. During installation, a shortcut is NOT created by default, but you can easily add one to your System Tools folder. You can also start System File Checker by clicking Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then clicking System Information. In System Information, click Tools on the menu, and then click System File Checker.
