Chapter 7 - Configuring DriverScanner

Back to

Contents

There are three areas that you can configure

(figure 38):

Navigation

This option allows you to define how DriverScanner is minimized or closed when the
buttons at the top right of the screen are pressed.

Downloads

This option allows you to set the default folder to which downloaded drivers are saved,
and the number of simultaneous driver downloads permitted.

Scan

This option allows you to set DriverScanner so that it scans your drivers every time the
application is launched. We recommend that this setting is left on so that the driver
status is always updated automatically. This relieves you of the need to perform manual
scans regularly, by completely automating the system scanning process.

Once you have configured your system settings click on the

Save

button to store them.
