Scandisk at startup after bad shutdown is here to stay? win2000

[Tibur Waltson]

I've been plague by scandisk at every startup. Scandisk at
startup takes 3 hours to scan 120G. After finishing
scandisk, I shutdown and restart and scandisk runs again. I
like to disable this feature so I don't have to stay around to
press "skip scandisk" at every bootup. How do I disable
this feature?

Thanks

Scandisk is not used by Windows 2000 but is used by Windows 95/98/98SE/Me.

See this MSKB article for a possible solution:

I realize you meant checkdisk and not scandisk. Try this message board

Solved!

When Googling for checkdisk instread of scandisk, here's
what I did. I'd ran regedt32 and deleted (autocheck
autochk*) in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
Current Control Set\Control\Session Manager\Boot Execute
