Cancel CHKDK at bootup
Hi Guys,
I have done this before and can't remember how to do it ...
I have just scheduled a CHKDSK to run at the next reboot of one of our servers, I now want to cancel it. I know that I have to change the bootexecute in the registry, and I even know that I need to change the value to ' autocheck autochk * '
but how do I physically change the value, when I double click the reg value to edit it I get the edit binary value dialogue box come up ( http://www.smithcomputersystems.co.uk/images/screenie.jpg )
how do I alter the value properly, as when I remove the switches after autochk* and close the window the data value shows as a load of random asci characters. What part do I have to alter/remove ?
Thanks
Matt

ok,
but that gives no value in the data column ( http://www.smithcomputersystems.co.uk/images/screenie1.jpg )
In the MS KB article it says that the value from blah blah to autocheck autochk *
how have we changed it to this value
thanks

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \ControlSe t001\Contr ol\Session Manager]

or
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentCo ntrolSet\C ontrol\Ses sion Manager]
"BootExecute"=hex(7):61,75 ,74,6f,63, 68,65,63,6 b,20,61,75 ,74,6f,63, 68,6b,20,2 a,\

Sorry i do not see the key names. You need to move the Edit Binary window.
It seems it is the data with the squares ?
Sodelus have something of the Sophos anti virus for Windows 95.
This link speek about Sweep something

Check about this.
Maybe you need to uninstall then reinstall Sophos if you have it.
I will say you have upgraded your computer from Windows 95 or 98.
