Turn off auto-CHKDSK in XP

First a couple of questions, why is the system running auto chkdsk? Is the system crashing or having application problems? Chkdsk is normally intended to prevent data corruption and can have very bad results if not used. One engineer I know halted one because he didn't have time to wait and had unmountable volumes resulting in a reload.

Basically because programs I use will create files of a specified size, when in fact they are not that size, but eventually will be.
The problem is that if my computer crashes and restarts itself when I'm not around, CHKDSK will run upon boot, and read those files as corrupted and truncate them when in fact they are fine.

I'll check some tonight, time to head home and it's a long commute. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a stability problem and crash the OS.

The best I can come up with is to remove the autoreboot flag from System Properties > Advanced > Startup and Recovery. That way you can manually recover from any errors or boot and cancel the scan. There's probably a registry key that will actually do it, but I haven't got a machine loaded with XP right now.
