Hide SFC progress meter

This setting hides Windows System File Checker (SFC) progress meter during file checking.

Tweak for : Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000

Description:

System File Checker permits the administartor to scan all the protected files to verify their versions. It also checks and repopulates the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dllcache folder. If the Dllcache folder becomes damaged or unusable, you can repair the contents of the folder through either the sfc /scanonce or sfc /scanboot command.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. Create a REG_DWORD value name " SFCShowProgress" (if this value doesn't exist). Right Click on the Option “SFCShowProgress”, and from the drop down menu, select Modify. Enter the value "0" to enable the setting.

Close the registry.

Restart the system.
