CRASH bad restart....!

Hi,

you know when you don't shutdown ur computer properly and then when u restart u get this blue screened scandisk type thingy coming up and chking ur computer/files for errors?
well i would like it so this is by-passed (no matter if i shutdown proper or not!).
I know i did this once with a tweak prog but can i do it manually? how?

thanks.

I think U must be Win9x and I think it was in the autoexec.bat file to automatically run that scandisk everytime. Chack the bat file and either remove of just type rem in front of that line. If it's not there I do remember somewhere in windows that it was set to do that...

I don't know why you would want to do this as you are going to build errors into your file system but anyway.

Start | Run | msconfig | Advanced and select "Disable scandisk after bad shutdown"
