Hi all,
I have asked win XP to checkdisk my C: drive on following startup.
Of course it modified a registry entry.
On the following startup xp did the job and all went fine.
The problem is the registry value has not been set back to its previous value, and now on each boot, xp wants to chkdsk my C: drive.
I did a search on the net for the concerned registry entry and found it was
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute
and I should change the value from
autocheck autochk /r \??\C:
autocheck autochk *
to
autocheck autochk *
Unfortunately each time I run regedit, find this key and try to change its value, Spybot forbids it (based on a mysterious user blacklist, hidden somewhere) and restore the unwanted temporary value.
No, there is no choice, it just gives me a notification.
My computer keeps on wanting to check my C: drive on startup...
Trying to remove it from the "Settings" menu (in the tray icon menu) "blocked registry modifications" doesn't help. It would act the same, and put it back in the "blocked registry modifications" list.
No way out.
Any help is welcome.
This is the first time I am disappointed by spybot S&D : this situation is really absurd.
