Searching in C:\ and subfolders doesn't work

[agiudiceandrea]

Searching in C:\ always returns "Found 0 files, skipped 25 files". In my Windows 10 64 bit system C:\ contains 32 folders (6 of which are hidden) and only 1 file.

grepWin 2.1.0

works fine for me. Do you have read access to the folders in c:\ ?

Yes, the user has read access to almost all the folders (except e.g. the folders under C:\Users\different_user), and obviously also to C:\Program Files\grepWin which contains grepWin.exe. In fact, if I search for grepwin.exe in C:\Program Files\ using grepWin, then the searching succeeds and grepWin.exe is correctly found in C:\Program Files\grepWin

Same thing happens to me with 2.1.0.1328. Note it only does it from the root of C:\ for me. From a subfolder (i.e. C:\Dev) it works fine.

Note I am running Windows 11 22H2 (64bit).

I have the same problem with grepWin v2.1.0.1328 in Windows7. I did not have this problem with previous versions of grepWin with exactly the same search and the same path.

I can confirm the issue doesn't occur using grepWin 2.0.15.1232 while it does occur using grepWin 2.1.0.1328.
