skatamatic 371 So....do you understand how threads, threadpools, or background workers work? Do you understand file IO and parsing? Or do you just want us to do the project for you (lol)?

nick.crane 342 What do you intend to do during the scan?
If you are looking for changes then you could use a FileSystemWatcher to do the "scanning" for you.
