Weekly Maintenance

Nothing is faster an easier than what I do, which is:

1. Dump a batch file such as "Check Disk.bat" into C:\Windows

2. Input the command line chkdsk parameters you want to use, mine are:

CHKDSK.EXE /X /V /F D:

CHKDSK.EXE /V C:

3. Create a shortcut on the Desktop that points to C:\Windows\Check Disk.bat and all I have to do is double click it to have my disks scanned for errors.

 

I only have it clean indexes on C: which will report any errors because the fix command won't work for my C: drive for some reason. Instead to fix errors on C: I run: FSUTIL.exe DIRTY SET C:

and then reboot.

That's fast and easy when you know how to do that stuff, but the average Joe Blow wouldn't have a clue how to create a batch file, and if he saw the Command Prompt window he'd be scared to death.
