Interesting to hear this. Sounds like chkdsk is relying on its backup
files, some of which were apparently not updated when you made that registry
tweak.
But then again, I wouldn't expect that to have been undone by just a small
registry tweak (or the Recycle bin icons for that matter), since it seems
doubtful that would have modified any core system DLL files. So how does
that happen?
(The presumption here being that CHKDSK primarily monitors the system DLL
and EXE files for being replaced with different versions)

does not require a reboot -- is there a way to view a summary log?
After running chkdsk on my C-drive, I found my configuration was
changed. My desktop had a different style. A registry tweak that
allows me to search HTML files for embedded markup was undone. The
empty and not-empty Recyle Bin icons were changed. Is this a bug? Or
is this a "feature"? It didn't take me long to fix these changes, but
it was very annoying. Is there a way to avoid these changes in the
future?
