kaznaka 0 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Lately, I noticed that whenever I plug in a laptop hard disk with my hard disk reader to my PC, and when I right-click the new drive and scan with ESET, it would scan L:\Documents and Settings\... The point is, the directory that it would scan is my PC's user instead of the hard disk that I told ESET to scan. Moreover, Documents and Settings does not exist anywhere in my PC (isn't that a Windows XP directory?). It would scan about 100,000 files (in my PC) before actually scanning the hard disk that I right-clicked. I know they are the files in my PC because it says user/desktop/etc. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what did you do to fix it?

Administrators Marcos 5,069 Posted February 8, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 8, 2017 The "Documents and settings" is a junction point as of Windows Vista and is not visible by default. That said, accessing this folder will cause a relocation to c:\users folder. A solution would be to have an option for not following symbolic links and junction points in the on-demand scanner setup. It's possible that in the future we'll add such setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
