Microsoft ships this utility with Windows 98, Windows 2000 and all subsequent versions of the Windows NT family of operating systems. In Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10, System File Checker is integrated with Windows Resource Protection (WRP), which protects registry keys and folders as well as critical system files.
(Although the system attribute can be manually put on any arbitrary file; these files do not become system files.) Specific example of system files include the files with .sys filename extension in MS-DOS. In Windows NT family, the system files are mainly under the folder C:\Windows\System32. In Mac OS they are in the System suitcase.
A filename is a string used to uniquely identify a file stored on this structure. Before the advent of 32-bit operating systems, file names were typically limited to short names (6 to 14 characters in size).
Unlike the search feature in Windows XP, Windows Search does not display information about the location being searched in the status bar of Windows Explorer.

In computing, a page fault is an exception that the memory management unit (MMU) raises when a process accesses a memory page without proper preparations. Accessing the page requires a mapping to be added to the process's virtual address space. Furthermore, the actual page contents may need to be loaded from a back-up, e.g. a disk.
If another copy of shmedia.dll exists in the system search path, regsvr32 may choose that copy instead of the one in the current directory. This problem can usually be solved by specifying a full path (e.g., c:\windows\system32\shmedia.dll) or using the following syntax: regsvr32 .\shmedia.dll
The Windows startup process does not support junction points, so it is impossible to redirect certain system folders: \Windows \Windows\System32 \Windows\System32\Config; Other critical system boot files, such as The sleep image file hiberfil.sys, also do not support redirection.
