You can add the "autocheck autochk *" setting easily with my reg file:

1. Copy between the lines
2. Paste into Notepad
3. Save-as BootExecute.reg (or any name + .reg)
4. Double-click or right-click and merge into the Registry

------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager]
"BootExecute"=hex(7):50,00,44,00,42,00,6f,00,6f,00 ,74,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,\
00,00,00,61,00,75,00,74,00,6f,00,63,00,68,00,65,00 ,63,00,6b,00,20,00,61,00,\
