Disabling Scandisk without first finding out why it insists on starting
on each boot is a stupid idea.


While failing to appreciate that just because one has never had a problem
proves precisely zero about it's safety, borders on the brain-damaged.

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...

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.
