CHKDSK repeatedly runs.

[Nohogene]

Yesterday I ran to check for errors. "SpyBot S&D" asked me if I want to
allow this registry change to happen when I next booted up. I said yes, but
now EVERY time I boot up CHKDSK runs and takes almost 45 minutes to complete.

How do I change the registry so this doesn't keep happening?

THANKS, Gene

How do I keep CHKDSK from running on every start up?

Summary: There are times when the disk checking utility needs to
run before you boot into Windows. Sometimes it seems to get stuck and
does so every time.

I have a two year old laptop running Windows XP. I had run
"Defrag" and also clicked on the check drive for errors option, which
was then scheduled at next restart.

Now this scan program runs every time I start up. How can I
shut this off?


Good we can turn it off.

Bad it means editing the registry.

The "I'm not so sure" you shouldn't have to. It should have
turned itself off, and I'm concerned that this might be trying to tell
you something.
