Autochk.exe program not found

[John LaBombard]

I am running win2k sp3 and when I boot the computer I
receive:

\SystemRoot\Windows\System32\Autochk.exe program not
found - skipping Autocheck

This lasts for about 2 seconds and then the system boots
normally and seems to run fine. I have tried chkdsk /r/f
and it doesn't help. I have located the file autochk.exe
in C:\winnt\system32 and have tried replacing the file
from another similar machine with no change. If I rename
the file it recreates itself. If I delete the file it
recreates itself. I am not sure what else to try, any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What is in the registry at the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute

It should be a REG_MULTI_SZ data type set to
autocheck autochk *

If not, set it to
autocheck autochk *
