Disabling Scan Disk

When Windows is not 'Shut Down' properly, it will perform an Auto Check using CHKDSK (Check Disk) on the next restart. Auto Check is executed after a short time delay. Auto Check can be disabled or delayed by tweaking a few Registry Settings.

• Run "Regedit" from 'Start > Run.

• Go to
  

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/SessionManager

• Creat a new DWORD value or modify the existing value, called "AutoChkTimeOut" and set it according to the value data below.

Value Name : AutoChkTimeOut.
Data Type : REG_DWORD (DWORD value).
Value Data : Time in Seconds or O to disable (Default = 10).

• Exit your registry, and restart or log out of windows for the change to take effect.
