    \n
  1. Open the Registry Editor on the Windows device<\/li>\n
  2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\FSecure\\Ultralight\\Settings\\ods.container.maxdepth] "value"=dword:00000002<\/li>\n
  3. Change the "dword" value.<\/li>\n
  4. Restart the fsulhoster service or restart the computer for the change to take effect<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: <\/strong>"00000002" is the nested level. For example, if it is set to 1, only the container will be scanned, 2 subfolders will not be scanned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
