Windows 98 Reboot and Shutdown - Stop Running ScanDisk after Bad Shutdowns

SUMMARY: Keep ScanDisk from running whenever Windows 98 crashes.

Normally, when Windows 98 is shut down incorrectly, for example due to a system crash, the next time you boot your computer, ScanDisk runs. If, for some reason, you want this disabled (not recommended!):

1. Click the "Start" menu, choosing "Programs," "Accessories," "System Tools," and then "System Information."
2. On the window that appears, click the "Tools" menu, selecting "System Configuration Utility."
3. On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, select the "General Tab," and then click the "Advanced..." button.
4. On the dialog box that appears, check "Disable ScanDisk after bad shutdown."
5. Click OK to close the dialog box.
