Interesting workaround. The basic way to reach it is to just put up the Start menu, P for programs, open the accessories menu, and tab down a couple of items to system tools. But, as everyone loves to say, there are a million ways to do something in Windows. This is the standard way to get to an item among the applications and utilities on your computer. but, as I say, this way is pretty clever, if your Start menu doesn't work for any reason. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <lmchugh@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 7:29 AM Subject: Re: Scandisk Yes, go to my computer and down to local disk, alt enter for properties. control tab for tools and it should be the first item in list check disk.
