Win95 Setup Question 1

[tahoskier]

A few years ago I ran setup.exe with a specific switch to repair a win95 installation. I can't find any documentation on that switch and I have to fix a win95 computer. Does anyone know the syntax for that switch?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Got problems and don't want to reinstall W95...
Don't want to lose any of your settings or software? There's a command
line option that'll get you back on your feet in no time. Boot up your
PC with a Windows 95 boot disk , pop in your Windows 95 CD, and once
you're at the command prompt, type your CD-ROM drive letter immediately
followed by a colon. So, if your CD was set to "D" you'd enter D: and
then hit ENTER. At this point, type the following command: SETUP /pf.
This switch will restore all of Windows critical files to their factory
state, and in 99 % of situations doing this will fix whatever problems
you were having in Windows 95.

Some people just won't click on the link though, they expect it to be spelled out, in agonizing detail, right here.
