Hard disk scanning

Hello,
Is there a way to automatically shut down or bypass the hard disk scan
that occurs when a system is improperly shutdown?

We have an automated machine that has an emergency stop button on it.
The button shuts down the machine and the computer controlling it. The
computer is set up to automatically log in. Everything works correctly but
the system does want to do the automatic disk check after the button was
used to shut down. I want to bypass that one feature.

I assume you are talking about the "hibernate" or "standby" button on the
keyboard if so so see 1., if not see 2.

1. If you are using XP this should allow windows to prepare for
standby/hibernate mode.

You may have the wrong drivers installed or something on your machine will
not support advanced shutdown methods.

I've never heard of an "emergency stop button" for a Windows computer,
sounds like a shop machine feature or the power button on your box.

If you are pressing the power button on your box you do not give windows a
chance to unload processes, hive registries and drivers so on reboot some of
these are still loaded and windows thinks there is an error.

There is no way to automate the bypass for this, you have to press "any key'
or the specified key to skip this process. If you are doing this to stop a
process (program etc) then try ctrl + alt + del and choose "end process" if
you can identify what you wish to stop.
Everything works correctly but
the system does want to do the automatic disk check after the button was
used to shut down.

Something is not configured correctly if your system sees and error. To help
you better you need to be more specific. Post your operating system (OS), why
you are doing this and what button you are actually pressing.
 
And its entirely possible that an incorrect shutdown will/can cause a
corruption in the file sys
