System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings' is denied.

Please make it possible to scan the entire disk such as C:\ because right now it gets stuck on accessing protected folders, can you just make it skip those folders?

Same if I selectivelly pick a folder containing protected folders:

This should be fixed when #4 is merged

Seems that 1.0.1 has less rights than 1.0.0 did. With 1.0.0 I was able to scan locations like 'Program Files' and likewise x86 folder. Using 1.0.1 leaves me now unable to scan these locations. Seems that introduced code in the updated version leaves it unable to scan certain locations.

Using elevated permissions changes this to allow it to scan these locations that 1.0.0 used to scan just fine. But, as was the same case with 1.0.0, elevated permissions in version 1.0.1 is still unable to scan protected Windows locations (C:\Users\ABC123\AppData\Local\Application Data), so no overall loss there.

Still weird that there has been a downgrade in permissions and now requires users to elevate before launch in order to scan some common directories (might need to be included in new documentation if it's not already - it currently isn't as far as I see).

I still get this today, even if I elevate it to admin:

For those using curseforge, the folder you should scan is in C:\Users\<username>\curseforge by default and doesn't require anything special.

The issue is resolved if you make the program's searching directory more specific.
For example instead of C:\Users<your username>\Appdata use C:\Users<your username>\AppData\Roaming and then proceed to try it with local by changing 'Roaming' to local.

This is fixed in my fork aswell, which has a download: #20 (comment)
