Hi,

I don't exactly remember the KEY, you can try searching for badshutdown in
registry, but I have couple of other options to solve your problem.
Download TeakUI which is available from Microsoft Web site, it has got an
option not to scandisk on bad shutdown.
To fix the errors on the Disk run runscandisk 5-6 times, then scandisk will
find the errors and fix it.
You can try to put scandisk in a batch file to run for 5-6 times and run it
before going to sleep.

Hope this helps

Thanks
Kiran
