Windows File Protection

[Chewy]

applying the full admin install of sp3 to windows xp seems to have improved what sfc /scannow is capable of

There is another location the Windows File protection service uses and that is the I386 folder in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles When you install a service pack, like SP1. Any new system drivers are cached in this location too.

My admin install of sp3 put a ServicePackFiles folder in the windows directory 569MB
Inside it is i386 folder, 561MB and a ServicePackCache folder




all is well my source paths are good



c:\windows\ServicePackFiles
