Paths to Scan for Corrections

This list of paths contains paths where to search for file/folder matches. To scan hard drives for registry corrections specify the paths you want to search.
Note: The list is case insensitive.

To add paths or local hard drives to the search list click the Add button, browse for a path and click OK.

If you don't know where moved files might be located, just add all of your hard drives - C, D, etc. By default the list already contains all fixed drives. Note that depending on the size of the drives and number of files, scanning your disks may take a lot of time.

Registry First Aid always scans selected folders including their subfolders. In most cases to speed up the process you might only add the Windows folder (e.g. "C:\Windows") and "C:\Program Files" folder. An overwhelming majority of invalid entries reside in these folders or directory paths.

Note 1: If the list contains upper-level folder path then you won't be able to add a subfolder (for example if the "C:\Windows\" folder is in the list, the subfolder "C:\Windows\Subfolder\" can not be added in the list). The reason for this is that the program always scans folders and their subfolders automatically.

Note 2: You can set a list of paths excluded from the disks search. Please refer to the List of paths excluded from the search for corrections topic.

Items can be active/inactive. Checkbox indicates its state.

Important: Note for machines with multiple Operating Systems (OS) installed.
