[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 804497, member: 31436"] Scanning all the files in a folder when you open it, does decrease performance. A good example of this is Windows Defender and this is one of the reasons why I never use it. If you launch a file, it will be scanned before it is opened, so in my opinion, it doesn't matter if the contents of a folder aren't scanned when you open it. [/QUOTE]
