How often are folders rescanned for changes?

Every 7 days the folders are rescanned.  So if you start TTP on a Monday then 7 days of run-time later it will do a rescan.

The only way a rescan would extend longer than 7 days is if TTP was shutdown for X days; but as soon as you start it up again it would check whether 7 days have elapsed and then run a rescan for changes.

Remember you can use the Win Explorer right-click menu option to "scan for changes" at any time.

And, "live monitoring" of folders does not affect the rescan for changes every 7 days.
