    When you schedule chkdsk, it will only attempt to scan once upon your next boot/restart. You can skip it when prompted before it begins, and then it won't hassle you again after that (unless something is wrong with your drive/OS).

    Making an edit to the registry is meticulous and unnecessary - unless, again, there is actually wrong that is causing it to start on boot up.
