Does XY access the USN Journal to speed up its file searches or list refreshes?
Why do I ask? Because CHKDSK is now verifying the USN Journal, which is something that it never did before I started evaluating file mangagers. If not XY, then x2 or DOpus may be the culprit.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I was wondering what a U.S. Navy Journal had to do with XY! 
Then I did a Google on it and see that it's something related to NTFS, so as I'm a FAT32 user, I'd never seen the term.Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Having spent 8 years in the Navy, those 3 letters could never mean anything else to me, no matter what Microsoft uses them for.
I have to re-cage my brain every time I use the FSUTIL USN command in a command prompt window.
Several disk image restores later, I'm 99% sure it was Norton AntiVirus (as part of NIS 2008) that activated the change journal.
BTW, if you are one of the thousands of anti-Norton people (like I was for so many years), you owe it to yourself to evaluate NIS 2008. I ditched ZoneAlarm when they couldn't get their act together in Vista, and compared to the AVG, Kaspersky and ESET security suites, NIS 2008 is a lean, mean, bullet-proof machine.
