chkdsk autorun - can't seem to disable
I play an online RPG which, due to memory leaks (they all seem to have them) requires restarts, sometimes from a frozen state meaning a hard shutdown and restart. Today chkdsk began to run at restart. I tried to run my defrag, but it will not run as it says that chkdsk is scheduled to run. I have looked in the registry under the local machine>system>currentcontrolset>session mgr to the boot exe but it does not list my d drive to be checked there. I have a p4 3.06 with 1gb ram running xp pro. hd is 40gb, partitioned into c(windows), and d(programs and games). any help pinning this one down would be appreciated.
Edited because I had the wrong registry entry posted - I've checked the one you mention and it is at the default value - chkdsk runs nonetheless every startup. Last edited by druid; October 27th, 2004 at 03:17 PM. |

Hi,Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session ManagerLook for the REG_MULTI_SZ value with the following name: BootExecute. This value contains commands that will be executed at startup. The default value is: autocheck autochk * After scheduling one or more chkdsks, the entry will contain one or more autochk lines. Delete each of these lines and put the default one in place. |

So far this hasn't helped - still cannot run disk defrag, and chkdsk still runs every startup.
