How to disable autochk
Lately, autochk always runs during startup, and with the "thorough" option. I
am sure that my disk is fine and is shut down properly. How do I fix this please? I only need autochk after a bad shutdown or impending disk failure. Thanks in advance. Xplorer |

If scandisk is running each time you boot your PC this would suggest that
the PC is not shutting down correctly. One possibility is that your PC or rather hard disk shuts down too quickly which can then cause Scandisk to run when you next boot. You can delay shutdown by editing the registry and increasing the value of the DWORD CacheWriteDelay found at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion. This is useful where fast hard disks are used that shutdown before all cached data has been written to them. If you haven't already done so you should install the "Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package" patch from the Windows Update site (For more details see MS KB 273017 - "ScanDisk Runs Even Though Windows Shut Down Correctly" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=273017). Tracking down shutdown and power-off problems (they differ) can be somewhat difficult but may I suggest that you start by having a look at MS KB 273746 - "How to Troubleshoot Windows Me Shutdown Problems" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=273746) and then move on to Jim Eshelman's pages at http://aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm and http://aumha.org/win4/a/shtdwnme.htm which cover this topic. Hopefully you will find advice there that will help your resolve your problem. The Windows Me Startup and Shutdown Troubleshooting Wizard is located in the Help and Support Centre in Windows Me or at the following Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/tshoot/ -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP "xplorer" wrote ...
