Jim, I beta tested Windows Me for 6 months and one of the first things I noticed was that there was no System File Checker that I used quite a bit under Windows 98. I contacted the Windows Beta Team(love that friendly name):( and was told that there were problems with System File Checker because, say you updated a Windows program, the SFC would put in an old dll from the Windows CD if a file on that updated program became corrupted. They now have something called System File Protection which, you guessed it, works automatically in the background to keep your system uncorrupted. Yea , right! Dumbing down again. But I still like Me better than 98SE.
