Thought of trying Help from your start menu?
Hint: you need to use an account with administrator privileges

Sfx /scannow
MY local computer guy told me I could attempt to fix corrupted files by
inserting the Windows disk, closing the "Welcome to." window,
start/run/typing sfx /scannow and clicking OK. For me, this procedure
results in "windows cannot find" box. What did I do wrong?
