Ron, interesting find!!! I notice the double slashes and the double end quotes, is it necessary even for local paths?
e.g. my slimserver is located at: C:\Program Files\Slim\Server\scanner.exe Do I enter the following? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\SlimScan\Command] @="C:\\Program Files\\slim\\server\\scanner.exe --rescan \"%L\"" Ron Thigpen;131578 Wrote: > I've found a way to easily kick off scans of just one directory of music > > that you've just added to your collection.
