...I don't "foist" anything onto anybody,it is their choice whether to take any advice given. Fair enough, but remember that people who post questions to Microsoft newsgroups are looking for answers to problems, not more problems. Also remember that the skills of the poster may range from the completely lost and daft to quasi expert. Novice users may not understand the implications or complications that may be caused by applying an incorrect fix or suggestion, or a plainly dangerous idea. One of the strengths of peer groups is that answers given are subject to peer review and subject to corrections when incorrect or improper advice is given. Peer reviewers may also add additional information that the helper may have omitted or otherwise clarify things. Just accept that your information was incorrect and move on, live and learn. We all make mistakes, I made a a mistake once, I thought I was wrong when actually I was right... John |

Shane The ability to keep the OS from running Scandisk automatically can be useful if you commonly shut the thing down without letting it go through the housekeeping functions first or if you're stuck with a program that doesn't respond to shutting down properly, etc. Marginal reasoning, though, eventually something real breaks and then you wonder why your system doens't work.

Well, it's always a gamble - how much, varying, of course. My brother-in-law seems to have forgotten how to shut down properly, as when he's here this machine has a plague of bad shutdowns. I don't want to sit through scandisk at almost every boot, so I'll tend to cancel the scan, check my e-mail or whatever, then run ScanDefrag to make sure it gets done. Shane |
