I recently copied the MSCONFIG utility from a Win98SE computer and put it on my Win95b computer, and it works just fine. Has anyone tried putting the SFC utility on a Win95b computer? Will this work OK?

Many of the utilities that appear on newer versions of Windows are actually utilities written by authors for previous version and aquired by Microsoft. Not all utilities are backward compatable.
SFC is the System File Checker and as the system files vary between versions I doubt if it would work. it may actually cause damage
