i still cannot get AutoChk.Exe to run on bootup

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.
