If I run the System File Scan will that change files
installed by SP1?

I am having trouble reinstalling IE 6.0

My understanding is that it will not change them, but will utilize them as
needed. If no one here disagrees, then you can safely conclude that to be
the case.

In a normal SP1 update install from an original XP, you get i386 installed
onto your C drive and the registry changed to look there for updates. For
some reason this sometimes doesn't happen and you have a problem. You can
change Registry to reflect the correct path by searching for i386 and when
you find the one referring to where XP should look for unchanged Windows
files, change SourcePath to the hard disk folder.
