My best guess is that pstores.exe writes to the hard drive while running scandisk. By removing it
to the desktop, the registry no longer knows where it is, and therefore, it does not run. It would
be similar to removing a program exe, and then expecting any shortcuts to the program to open it -
which they won't.
