FAQ

1. How do I ignore the Recycle bin(s)?

Load the popup menu of the Ignore these folders tab by right clicking in the list. Select 'Add: Define Folder Mask' option and enter "c:\Recycled\" (no quotes). If you have more than one hard drive, enter ":\Recycled\" to ignore all of your bins.

Figure 1. - Configuration to ignore Windows Recycle bin(s).

2. Missing & Extra files

These files are found by comparing properties of current filenames on the system with those saved in a FW catalog file.

3. Changed files

When a file isn't missing or extra, it's current status is again checked against saved data:

• Attributes: Read Only, Hidden, System, Directory
• Date & Time: Windows Stamp
• Size: Bytes
• RSA MD5: Calculated internal file signature.

4. Why is a folder/file inaccessible?

This means it was not accessible via Windows (not DOS compatible.) Shared Netware and/or MAC volumes may have some un-scannable folders. If a file is not accessible, you may want to CHKDSK or ScanDisk for errors.

5. 'Messages saved in fileWATCH.log?'

If a folder/file is inaccessible or any other problem occurs it is noted in the log file.
