Is there anyway to change the countdown time on a scheduled disk check to a
more manageable unit without simply running chkntfs from the command prompt?

Thanks

Set the AutoChkTimeOut to 0.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Value Name: AutoChkTimeOut
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 0

[[The value in units of seconds (for example, a value of 60 equals 1
minute)]]

[[If the entry is not found, the default count down of 10 seconds will be
used.
If it is set to 0 second, there will not be any count down.
If it is set to more than 3 days (259,200 seconds), the default value will
be used. ]]

Or just use chkntfs:

chkntfs /t:x

where x is the number of seconds.
In a command prompt type
chkntfs /?
for more information.

Thanks for the replies. The registry hack is what I was looking for.
Worked flawlessly.
