Thanks Vulcan :

But this was not answer to my question, what i was needed was :

1) My pc asks to run scandisk when i reeboot as it was not shutdown
properly, WHERE THIS KEY STORED by which windows comes to know
it has to run scandisk when booted next time as was not shutdown
properly.

2) After general scanning i.e files/fat.... ALL OK!! scandisk alerts "severe
damage in hard disk check surface scan" (this is not detected by general
scaning but detected by windows itselfand keeps a key to run scandisk
with alert option when booted next time), WHERE THIS KEY IS STORED
by which windows comes to know there are bad sectors developed and
shutdown was not proper. I got this alert as there was lose HDD cable by
which my PC hang. But i'm confident its NOPROB and want to disable it as
i dont hve hours to surface scan 20GB!!

So WHERE  THIS KEY IS STORED is my question?

what you have replied is for setting default parameters for scandisk
application run

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.
