Re: cmd.exe Minimize, Maximize, Close, and scroll buttons corrupted

System File Checker (sfc.exe) replaces screwed up system files.

Load your XP CD in your CD drive.

Start | Run | Type or paste: sfc /scannow | Click OK

If you have XP Home and it asks for your XP Pro CD, see this KB article...

You may be prompted to insert a Windows XP Professional CD when you run the

Chelmite <Chelmite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
The buttons on CMD.EXE windows are corrupted (they're okay on Explorer
windows).
These buttons have a thin outline of a folder, and open folder, a box,
and a sandbox for the lower scroll button.

How do I fix this?

I've tried reinstalling fonts from the Windows CD. I've tried resizing
the fonts for Display Properties. Neither technique has worked.
