Path Scanner has multiple functions. As the app can be only executed through Windows' Command Prompt utility, you need to have medium to advanced PC skills to understand and therefore benefit from its capabilities.
Overall, Path Scanner is a great help for administrators or those who need help in identifying long file paths on a PC or server. As the app does not feature a GUI and its functions are technical, it does make it difficult for novice users to access all the features though.
