Thnx for the prompt reply Taylor, but....
I must have been unclear. my problem is more 'how do i get AutoChk.Exe to
run', than it is 'Chkdsk.exe or Autochk.exe starts when you try to shut down
or restart your computer'.
i did however METHOD 1 check that a scan is not on a schedule.
When i checked Method 2: Check the Session Manager registry entry, i found i
did not have a 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\BootExecute' folder..... it is missing.
METHOD 3 is scanning drives for the error


I will restate my problem.
I initiated an AutoCheck one day long ago. Upon reboot (required), an error
screen stated that AutoChk.Exe could not be found.
It gave it's path '~system32/' , and said that the AutoCheck would be skipped.
Windows loaded and all was ok. The error message has appeared every boot
since.

i believe the scan was initiated by diskkeeper (to do a system level
defrag). removing the task from diskkeeper did not resolve.
Diskkeeper has since been uninstalled.
i am running WinXP SP2
i have searched for autochk.exe and it is in the srstem32 folder, where the
error message claims it not to be.
 
why didn't you stay with OP?
was just yesterday. not that hard to find!!
