You have three seperate problems here!
First, you have accidentally turned on the startup menu. This setting is controlled
by the file MSDOS.SYS which is a hidden and system file located at C:\MSDOS.SYS
To edit it easily, prepare a .BAT batch file containing the following lines -
C:
CD \WINDOWS\COMMAND
ATTRIB -R -H -S C:\MSDOS.SYS
EDIT C:\MSDOS.SYS
ATTRIB +R +H +S C:\MSDOS.SYS
I recommend the following setting in the [options] section -
BootMenu=0
Second, I don't recognise the local disk folder problem, so can't help with
that.
Third, the ScanDisk problem. Open the System Configuration Utility, by going
to:
START > RUN
then typing MSCONFIG and clicking on "OK". Go to the "General" tab,
click on "Advanced", and unclick the box marked "Disable Scandisk
after bad shutdown".
