    Hi, InsaneJester

    Do you have TDS Running in the systemtray when you right click to scan something, if yes! double click it [Open's TDS window]and you will see what it Has scanned.

    So if you would like to see it scanning, open TDS window then right click a file, directory, or drive and you will see it working.

    I hope this what you ment and is of some help.

    Are you sure it did work on folders and directories before and not files only? Then it should be a registry setting which has changed.
    There was ever posted a ss3 script in the Private forum to change those settings back for all, rightclickall.ss3 i think was it's name.

    Hi Jooske,

    This is the file:

    in your TDS-3 directory:
    \Scripts\UserSubmitted\Allan\RightClickFileAll.SS3

    InsaneJester - Hello!

    At first I also thought there was a problem with the right-click scanning of files in Windows Explorer - and yes I had TDS-3 running (yet minimized to the system tray). While most apps bring a window into focus with the scan results, if you have TDS-3 minimized to the sys tray (as stated by TheQuest) you have to manually click "Show" on the TDS-3 icon to view the TDS-3 window and see the results. Hopefully they will address this obvious shortcoming within TDS-4 (in addition to automated scanning)?

    The other possibility is that you renamed the TDS folder AFTER install, not during (when asked where to install). This will break rightclick scanning obviously :(

    >Hopefully they will address this obvious shortcoming ..........

    See it as a feature, one popup less, just look in the TDS console for all the commands and tools at hand to act accordingly.

    Hi once again Jooske!

    Not sure I agree with you. When I right-click a file in Windows Explorer to scan it with TDS-3, I must want to know if the file is infected (or else I wouldn't have asked to scan it, right?). And if the only way to determine if TDS-3 found a problem with the file is to look at the TDS-3 console, then why one performing this action NOT want to see the console immediately? Therefore, to save the user a step, it would be a product ENHANCEMENT to automatically (in this situation) give the TDS-3 console the focus.

    Wished i could with a click of the button have TDS scan my while inbox and coloring or flagging each suspicious message, which is explained in the bottom console we would jump to with a right-mouseclick on the message itself for more info. Something like that.
    For at the moment i have to save both suspicious message and attachment separate to a place outside the email client to be able to scan it with TDS.
    Of course if the system is patched well a click on it would block actions because of the patch, security settings, WormGuard and TDS if noth by more security layers, but i just don't want to take the risks and of course there is already other email scanning at receipt of each pop collection, which does tell in the log what it blocked and quarantined, but i still want TDS join the action.
    The moment TDS exec protection blocks it i would like to see such a warning, not "hey why doesn't it work, extra click" and seeing text in the main console.
    Maybe a flashing icon and sound we can toggle on/off if there are alarms at any time, be it with a rightclick or full system scan nothing found green flash, alarms found at any time red flash flash flash.
    Noticed i really look at the systray icons so would see such a thing; righhtclick on the systray icon brings back the whole TDS toolbox in all cases, so best minimize to systray, not to taskbar (tray?) to use that quicklaunch option.
