disabling chkdsk during 2000 boot

[mdmd]

Hullo;

When a program like lavasoft's AdAware is run they sometimes
display message boxes about directories or files that are corrupt.
Now the directories are not corrupt, they are just inaccessible to
anyone but the system account ( I can take ownership and
change the properties and view the dirs and files without probs.)

Now when this happens, chkdsk or whatever program 2000 uses
to check the harddrive runs the next time the computer boots.And
it takes approx 15 minutes to do its thing ! Is there some setting
that I can manipulate that will prevent this program from ever
running during startup ? What setting do these programs or
2000 set to force this program to run ?

Now I've found this key and I think this is the command that
starts it all. Does anyone know who sets this key and if I can
prevent them from setting it ? If I just delete this one key will
I have problems next time I boot ?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager] "BootExecute" = autocheck autochk *

Look at attached zipped Bmp. THat is the value I have in that key, and my Os does not perform checkdisk on boot.
But if I were you, I would check also in Bios settings....

Thanks. I actually tried removing the key first. I wouldn't
recomend removing the key unless you Ghost your setup or
backup your os as the computer won't reboot without the key.
So, after I Ghosted my OS back I didn't bother with that program
again and now it never runs chkdsk on startup.

There are articles in the msdn about autocheck and its params.
Just nothing about how to stop it from ever running. So, I'm stuck
with just not running adaware as I don't want to change the
permissions on the folders.
