When running chkdsk (scandisk) is it expected to see minor file system errors every now and again. I am using nfts and regularly run chkdsk and windows reported an error and fixed it. This is after about 3 weeks running XP pro.

I want to tell the task scheduler to pop up a msgbox on the 1st of every month to remind me to do the above (not actually do it that would be annoying)

I tried creating a .vbs with the msgbox command in it, which ran when clicked but task scheduler would not run it, security feature?


Cheers
