Startup/Shutdown\Startup\Windows\00) Boot-Up Blue Screen

The plugin can be executed on the following Windows versions (Operation Systems):

Description :
Windows NT and Windows 2000 only. Requires administrator privileges. When you schedule CHKDSK to run at next boot time for a locked disk, the system will prompt you to press a key to cancel the operation. The system will display a countdown during that cancel period. The default value is 10 seconds. You can put in any value from zero to 259,200 seconds (3 days). With a timeout of zero, there is no countdown and you cannot cancel the operation. To reset the default value, clear the input field.
