just found (see screen shot) >>> follow links during scan wth is that ??? thanks 
edit: could that mean that if a shortcut is found in a scanned folder the corresponding folder or file to that shortcut will be scanned ?
Hardlinks/junctions on NTFS?
oh OK, thatās possibleā¦because anyway I just tried with my previous theory and that wasnāt it.
hmmā¦I just tried scanning ādocument and settingsā (junction point in Seven/Vista for compatibility with software developed for XP) and the corresponding ārealā folder location gets scanned, whether the option āfollow linksā is checked or notā¦
edit: OK but on the other hand itās at the root of āCā, ie not in scanned folder, so that doesnāt mean much may beā¦as I scanned it directly (the link).
