How do I stop SFC
I recently ran "SFC /scanboot". After that had completed I entered the command line "SFC /cancel "but to no effect. On every reboot the SFC screen comes up.
How can I stop this?

Go to Start>Run> and type: sfc /revert : Click ok or hit enter key and reboot. This will stop all sfc functions...
Stupid question? No such thing!

Thanks Ridgerunr. That works.
My 1400 page QUE manual gives the following syntax for SFC:
sfc [/scanonce] [/scanboot] [/cancel] [/quiet]
The cancel switch does not workfor me but your switch [/revert]does.
Now noted in manual.
Thanks for resolving my annoyance.

Thanks Tuttle.
I did manage to find and print that Microsoft article after I had Ridgerunr's advice. It is now inside my XP Manual.
It is often a game of patience to find information at Microsoft. I had spent hours looking for it before I took the easy option and called the Virtual Doctors.

It's not an article -- just run "sfc /?" (without quotes) at a command prompt. Most command-line tools work the same way, or offer something similar.
