Is it possible to prevent Uninstalr from scanning every drive on first scan?

MC123

Both the portable and installed version scours every single drive and folder during the initial scan. This, sadly, triggers my Dropbox to download a bunch of files I have only online. Is there in any way possible to limit the original scan to just C:?

MC123 You can edit the Uninstalr.dat file in path C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\Uninstalr\Uninstalr.dat and find line that is "OnlySysDrive" without quotes and change that from 0 to 1 and then add your exceptions and set back to 0 if you want all drives except Dropbox.

I'm afraid this can be done only from Settings, which can be accessed only after the initial scan is completed. As a workaround, perhaps you can disable your Dropbox or internet connection while you do the initial scan.

Yes, this is correct. I have also made a new improvement to the program that allows Settings access during the scan, to properly fix this issue. This improvement will be included to the next released version, which will be released very soon, probably next week.

This has now been implemented to the just released Uninstalr 3.2. You can now access the Settings before the initial scan has completed. Thank you for your feedback!
