How do I prevent CHKDSK from popping up every time I
start or restart my computer? I am running XP pro.
 
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Highlight the Winlogon file.
In the list look for "SFCScan", this should be set to (0) if it is set to
(1) the scan will happen at every boot.

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

Look 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.
If you always want a check to be performed at startup, change the value to:
autocheck autochk /f *
If you don't want any checks to be performed, delete all autocheck entries.
Last checkpoint: Modify as needed:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComp
