is there prog to monitor and guard system files?

[jameshanley39]

I would really like a prog to monitor and guard ystem files. I
actually seem to have lost one NMSSvc.exe and I get a system event
error that I can't start the SystemSuite Task manager. I can't start
it manually either, it needs 'a file'. I want to know what program
deleted the file! OBviously it's too late now, but I would like a
program to monitor and tell me if a file elike that is tampered with.

regarding recovery, I know SFC has a list of files in backup, but that
one isn't listed. I need a prog that covers the services too. I@ll do
a win xp repair, but would sitll ike to know about a prog that does
this

thanks

turns out this isn't a standard windows file or service. I'm amazed
that failure to start a non essential windows service causes a system
error. Is there a way to prevent this?

it seems that disabling the service stops the errors (it's a third
party service that shouldn't be there.

Regarding WFP, it wasn't a standard windows file that disappeared. So
I guess you mean me to add a nonstandard file to WFP.

Windows file protection was designed to protect Windows "system" files.
"3rd party files" aren't considered "system files"

Windows file protection

k, thanks. I know SFC, it uses WFP anyway. (no need for msdn link!)
Seems SFC protects the files that services depend on. So SFC was what I
was looking for.

You're welcome, have a good one.
