Check Disk During Start Up

As a relative new-comer to XP, I am still "learning how"
and so my question/problem may just prove such to be true!
But here goes - for reasons most unclear to me, every time
I boot-up I find that Check Disk automatically starts to
check each disk (beginning with D, not C!) even though the
previous shut-down was perfectly normal! I am used to
Win98 insisting on running Scandisk whenever there was a
non-normal shut-down but this is a brand new problem to
me. It it were something that happened just "once in a
while" I would not be asking but every time! Not from my
installing XP (which I did finally three months ago)but
just for the past week! Any help/suggestions would be
very greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
 
Dunno but are you having any other problems ?
You can remove scheduled ChkDsk's by removing entries from this reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager, in the
BootExecute Key if no scans are scheduled it should mostlikely just read
autocheck autochk* , If scans are scheduled there will be extra commands.
Delete everything so it just reads autocheck autochk*.
The reason i asked if you are having other problems is i had a similar
problem which related to a bad stick of ram.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, which I will check out. But to
answer your question about memory chips - no, I have had
no problem at all there ... but thanks for the
thought/idea.
 
O.K. ... I am back, having finally found what you were
talking about ... it took me a while since I am still
learning my way around XP. What I found was the following:
autocheck autochk /k :c*" ... I have no idea what the /k
is for ... do you? Do you mean I should/can just remove
the "/k :c" to fix this problem? How did this extension
get added on in the first place? Or do you know? Thanks
for you continued attention.

Ya just remove the extra so it reads autocheck autochk* and that will stop
it from running chkdsk on everyboot.
