Check Disk Scanner for Windows, Version 1.1 Copyright (c) 1993-1994, Marvin E. Wilborne III This program is useful when placed in the Startup Group of Windows for scanning the output of a CHKDSK command that is executed BEFORE Windows starts up. The program scans the output of CHKDSK for errors and if they are found, launches NOTEPAD with the output file so that you can see the errors. If no errors are found, the program automatically exits if is run minimized otherwise it waits for the user to exit the program. If you do not run the program minimized, you are given information about the size of the output file and how far along the program has gotten in scanning using a "temperature" type gauge. The default file name that is scanned is C:\CHKDSK.LIS. You can enter any file name you like as parameter 1 to the executable (this can be set with the file properties menu selection while the Icon is selected). To create the output file that is necessary for this program, enter the following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file BEFORE any network startup procedures and BEFORE the line that starts Windows: CHKDSK >C:\CHKDSK.LIS Then add the WCHKDSK program to the Startup Group minimized or normal and that is it! Make sure you specify the file to scan in the file properties if you don't use the default file C:\CHKDSK.LIS! If the file that is being searched doesn't exist, then the program will pop up it's main window with an error message regardless of being run minimized or normal. This program is shareware.
