there is no need to tweak the cryptic reg. search for file scandisk.ini,
must be in c:\windows\command.

your default is set to do full srface scan. disable it.

search for the following section:
[CUSTOM]
   DriveSummary  = Off          ; Auto, On, Off
   AllSummary    = Off          ; Auto, On, Off
   Surface       = Never        ; Never, Always, Prompt
   CheckHost     = Always       ; Never, Always, Prompt
   SaveLog       = Overwrite    ; Off, Append, Overwrite
   Undo          = Prompt       ; Prompt, Never

cahnge "surface" from "always" to "Never" (or, to "prompt", where you
can say yes or no)

Surface    Determines whether ScanDisk will perform a surface scan:
              Never    (Default) Does not perform a surface scan.
              Always   Performs a surface scan without prompting first.
              Prompt   Prompts before performing a surface scan.

The /SURFACE command-line switch overrides this setting, but in any case
it is auto starting so no method of using that.

hope that helped.
