no.maybe you make mistakes ,my friend.THe scandisk programme is a system programme.it not put in the start menu.i am sure it.
special illuminate,when i abnormality shut down the computer.reboot the computer,the candisk programme will automate run.at a matter of fact,it is so .

Help me understand. Do you mean that it happens during bootup? If so, have you checked the BIOS?

I don't know about Win98 but I know that in WinME there was a tab in msconfig that allowed you to select weather you wanted to start ScanDisk in the event of an improper shutdown. Go to msconfig and look in each of the sections for it.

if it's Win98 press the Spacebar. if it's an NT system like 2000 or XP, press any key on the prompt...

It's not all that complicated ..it's pretty simple ...

In the root drive of ur system ..there's a file called Msdos.sys
Open that file in notepad (note ..u'll hafta change it's attributes before n' after editing the file)

U'll find a line called autoscan=1
if u change it to autoscan=0 ... Then it will alwayz scan
if u change it to autoscan=2 ...then it will never scan

or it's just the other way round .. Just try it out ..
