Getting rid of Disk Checking

Every time I start up my computer, even when it doesn't crash, and I use the shutdown button in the start menu the "disk check" loads up right before windows boots. Is there a way to disable this? Help will be much appreciated.
 
In XP go to Start/Run/type: chkntfs /x c:

That will disable it for drive c. To do it on another drive just change c: to d: for example.

Chkntfs works by modifying the BootExecute value in the Registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Session Manager

The default value is BootExecute:REG_MULTI_SZ:autocheck autochk *

Chkdsk /f /r is unaffected by chkntfs and can be run to check volumes manually on the next system reboot.
