Where is system files checker in xp?

[V S Rawat]

I think that, in 98se,
Start-programfiles-accessories-systemtools-systeminformation-tool
s had an entry "system file checker" or something like that.

On running, it used to check all the system files and was
telling any mismatch from its some standard list, and was also
prompting to download from the system disk.

In xp, I could not find that thing at that place.

Could someone please lead me to the place where I can find it?

Thanks.
