Step 2. Choose A Path to Scan

On the next screen, you need to locate a path so that the program can scan that location thoroughly. Also, it will save much time to narrow down the scanning area. It will take you hours to finish scanning a Disk (C:)/(D:)/(E:)... If no desired files are found, you may take a try on the "Deep Scan" mode, but it would take quite a long time.
