As limited user, and get "Access denied" when I run chkdsk from the
command line. (I get the equivalent message when I run it from
Explorer > Properties > Tools > Error-checking.) As administrator, I
can run chkdsk just fine.

I had a nasty Windows crash on Sunday, and restored my disk with the
known good backup from Friday; I noticed this problem after the
backup. The partitions involved are FAT32, not NTFS.

1. Is CHKDSK, like MSCONFIG, an administrator-only tool? I could
swear I used to be able to run CHKDSK as a limited user, but maybe
I'm remembering wrong.

2. If CHKDSK is an admin-only tool, is there some policy setting to
all limited users to run it, or do I need to use the RunAs command?
