- ; SCANDISK.INI
- ;
- ; This file contains settings you can use to customize the ScanDisk program.
- ; The settings in this file do not apply when running ScanDisk in Windows 95,
- ; unless you are checking an unmounted compressed volume file. These settings
- ; will apply if you run ScanDisk from an MS-DOS prompt in single-application
- ; mode.
- ;
-
-
- ; -------------------------------------------------------------------
- ; The [ENVIRONMENT] section contains the following settings, which
- ; determine general aspects of ScanDisk's behavior:
- ;
- ; Display Configures ScanDisk to run with a particular type of
- ; display. The default display type is Auto (ScanDisk
- ; adjusts to the current display).
- ;
- ; Mouse Enables or disables mouse support. The default value is On.
- ;
- ; ScanTimeOut Determines whether ScanDisk should detect disk timeouts
- ; while performing a surface scan. The default value is Off.
- ;
- ; NumPasses Determines how many times ScanDisk should check each
- ; cluster during a surface scan. The default value is 1.
- ;
- ; LabelCheck Determines whether ScanDisk should check volume labels
- ; for invalid characters. The default is Off.
- ;
- ; LfnCheck Activates Scandisk to validate Long File Names, if they exist.
- ; The default is ON, to check Long File Names for problems.
- ;
- ; SpaceCheck Determines whether ScanDisk should check for invalid spaces
- ; in filenames. The default is Off.
- ;
- ; Mount Determines whether ScanDisk will mount unmounted DoubleSpace
- ; drives once it has determined they are error-free.
- ;
-

- Display = Auto ; Auto, Mono, Color, Off
- Mouse = On ; On, Off
- ScanTimeOut = On ; On, Off
- NumPasses = 1 ; 1 through 65,535 (anything over 10 is slow)
- LabelCheck = Off ; On, Off
- LfnCheck = On ; On, Off
- SpaceCheck = Off ; On, Off
- Mount = Prompt ; Prompt, Always, Never
-
- ; -------------------------------------------------------------------
- ; The [CUSTOM] section determines ScanDisk's behavior when ScanDisk is
- ; started with the /CUSTOM switch. You can adjust these settings to
- ; create a customized "version" of ScanDisk. This can be especially
- ; useful for running ScanDisk from a batch file. The [CUSTOM] settings are:
- ;
- ; DriveSummary Determines whether ScanDisk displays full-screen
- ; summary information after checking each drive.
- ; The default is Auto (ScanDisk displays the summary
- ; only if it encounters errors on that drive).
- ;
- ; AllSummary Determines whether ScanDisk displays full-screen
- ; summary information after checking all drives.
- ; The default is Auto (ScanDisk displays the summary
- ; only if it encounters errors on any drive).
- ;
- ; 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.
- ;
- ; CheckHost Determines whether ScanDisk will first check a host drive
- ; before checking any compressed drives located on that drive.
- ; Never (Default) Does not check the host drive.
- ; Always Checks the host drive without prompting first.
- ; Prompt Prompts before checking the host drive.
- ;
- ; SaveLog Determines what ScanDisk does with the repair log file:
- ; Off (Default) Does not save the repair log.
- ; Append Appends the log to the previous log, if any.
- ; Overwrite Replaces the previous log with the new log.
- ;
- ; Undo Determines whether ScanDisk creates an Undo floppy disk.
- ; The default is Never (ScanDisk does not create an Undo disk).
- ; The Prompt value causes ScanDisk to prompt you for a disk.

- ; Prompt Causes ScanDisk to prompt you before fixing this problem.
