Solved Home Premium Restart

My restart time went from 1min 3sec to 1min 28sec and the only thing I did in between times was run chkdsk.exe which came up with a clean report.I did 3 consecutive restarts to confirm this extended time.I also ran autorun.exe and all items were the same.What else could I check into?

Thx. for the quick reply Shawn and I had previously applied the useful information you referenced to.I believe my present problem stems from me manually running chkdsk.exe and it made a change(registry) to the "bootexecute value".The added start time seems about equivalent to when you do an improper shutdown and next startup it does a quick disk check for errors.Could you guide me as to what the default value should be.

Shawn....I just wanted to let you know I was able to correct my problem by changing the value for "bootexecute" back to it's default value of " autocheck autochk *"

Krd67,

I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted out. Thank you for posting back.
