Notes about the CHK file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The CHK file type is primarily associated with 'CHKDSK/SCANDISK Output'. File fragments cleaned from the disk. When you run the DOS or Windows disk checking programs they can find errors and may write these out as file fragments in .CHK files. Often these can be deleted as the information is elsewhere on your hard disk. Sometimes, however, you need to recover information from a .CHK file (or files). Use UnCHK and/or FileCHK to help you do this.
