> Thank you for the reaction ohrenkino. Yes, I have set D:\Inbox in the Options\>Directories and I have subdirectories option enabled. When I launch the program it starts reading thousands of files in D:\Inbox and subdirectories. I just want to start in D:\Inbox and then be able to chose a folder myself without program auto loading all the files in that location. Can this be done ?
