There is a dos command (comething like FLS/ SCANNOW) that checks the windows
for the original file dates and version, however I've forgotten what the
command actually is.

Does ANYONE know it?

1. Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
2. In the Command Prompt window type: SFC /SCANNOW
and hit enter. Have your Windows XP CD available.

After running SFC:

Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
System Information > View > System History
