To access the Scanning Paths settings screen, click on Settings in the left navigation menu and then click Scanning Paths from the list of settings.

The Scanning Paths screen allows you to set which directories, hard drives or partitions on your system are to be scanned for orphaned shortcuts when the Temp Files / Shortcuts section of Registry Mechanic is scanned.

Note: The settings on this screen have no affect on a Custom Scan, in which the Temp Files / Shortcuts section is not selected.

When Registry Mechanic is installed, the following paths are provided in the "Which locations do you wish to include while scanning?" list box:

• The root directories of all hard drives and partitions available on your system, for example, 'C:\'.
• The Start Menu paths for both logged on and All Users.
• The My Documents and Desktop paths for logged on users.

To ensure that a path is scanned for Program Shortcuts, select its check box. By default, only the Start Menu paths for both logged on and All Users are selected.

To add a path to the list, click on the Add button, browse to the selected folder and click the OK button. The path will be reflected in the list of paths.

To delete a path from the list, select the path and click the Delete button.
