Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / February 2008User account shutdown, chkdsk runs
We have two systems in our home. My wife's system has two accounts set up. Windows XP Home, with all updates, is her operating system. Her account has admin rights but the 10 year old boy is a user with his own password. I cannot figure this out-- my son is logged on XP (Matthew), when he finishes his homework and goes to Start/ Shutdown/ Turn off computer, the system shuts down properly. However, on the next system startup Chkdsk will run . If Matthew goes to Start/ Log off/ then shuts down from the main logon screen the computer shuts down normally. The next system start up is accomplished without a Chkdsk examination. I've tried some things I found regarding "dirty bit" but nothing solves the issue. I'm curious why this happens. Thank you for your suggestion.  Signature==== G.I. Gary I am not sure as to why the problem as it normally arises if you power off or press the reset button. This suggestion may help.

It describes what seems to be a closely related problem. I downloaded and installed the fix. We logged on as Matthew (user) then shutdown right from his specific start menu. A subsequent restart, and chkdsk did not run during the startup. The kids have been out for a week so we haven't done much with his account. We will give it a good test this week. I'll post an update, so far so good. I wish I could have found that myself! I need to learn how to search the KB with the right descriptions. Thank you-- much appreciated. > Gary > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> >> Thank you for your suggestion. |
