Hi,

I had a USB drive mapped into our system as a backup drive, I was having some issues with it and went into Explorer > "Drive" > Properties > Tools > and tried to start a disk check. Windows said it would prefer to do that at next boot. I said "okay" ... before I could restart I found the issue and now no longer need that boot time disk check (it's a 500GB drive - the check will take a fortnight!) - how do I "un" schedule that boot time check?

Thanks
Dodge
 
Read the following link, about half way down you will see a regkey, i would reset it to its default value.
