ChkDisk Problem
Every time Windows (XP Pro) tries to start up, ChkDisk cuts in with a suspect
disk problem. It never finds a problem but, if I don't stop it, it will loop
all day without ever starting Windows but perpetually running ChkDisk.
How can I stop this startup problem occurring, starting with the premise
that I do not have a faulty disk.
Thanks, Mike.

where I think the files should be expected, I see folders that are dimmed

the beginning of each filename (i.e. 1.xls will become 01.xls). I have
tried putting the command 'rename *.* 0*.*' into command, but that replaced
the first letter of each filename with a 0, rather than adding a 0.

Running process woes in Windows Task Manager
A process named Agent.exe is active in Task Manager to a ridiculous
degree. The name pops up as a running process and during several
seconds appears to make scores of read/write calls to the registry.
Then it disappears for several more seconds until it comes back up and
repeats the process (over and over and over...).
I tracked the program to:

Same power scheme for All Users
I have to set the standby timeout value of the system to 10 minutes.
To achieve this, I have created a custom power scheme with the
required power settings and have set this power scheme as the active
one using PowerCfg.exe.
Powercfg.exe sets the power scheme for the current user. Please let me
know how can I make All Users have the same power scheme.
Thanks,
