Is there any way to change the countdown timer for reboot system file checks?

[jbworrill]

You know when you reset without shutting down and Windows comes up and says "Windows wants to check your files, you can skip this, but not recommended...." etcetc

Then it counts down from ten and starts checking. With many partitions it becomes so annoying waiting for that ten seconds for each one, since there is a button to skip checking, but not to start checking immediately.

I was wondering if you can edit the registry or something to change the countdown time (similar to how you can change the countdown for OS selection in boot.in)

Just wondering...

Open the Registry in Win2K:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\
Value Name: AutoChkTimeOut Data Type: DWORD Value: The value in units of seconds

Basically make a DWORD called AutoChkTimeOut, and put in a value, ie 2, for the wait.
