Lorenzo,

In the below KB is a package MS ship, that allows you to
generate XML checksums of directories e.t.c it's probably
what your after, they do not provide a checksum list for
the files in windows though. So if you wanted to check
if your install was corrupt, you would need to generate a
list from a ok system to compare against (which I believe
the tool does).

Hope this helps

Thanks Mike!
this tool is very usefully: i'll use it!
In all WEB MSDN SUPPORT doesn't exist the list of files
and checksum?
But perhaps my way is not good: i 'm thinking at windows
update....

How do i check SO Windows integrity?

thanks
Lorenzo

From the command line, run:

SFC /SCANNOW

This causes the system file checker to check the checksums of the files on
disk against what the catalog files say they should be, replacing files
that don't match. It also repopulates the dllcache, so you'll want to have
media available.
