To check if you've got admin rights on your PC, right-click the Start button or press Win + X and choose "Computer Management." Look under "Local Users and Groups" and click on "Users." If you see "Administrator" next to your account, you've got the power. To exclude folders on your HDD from KART scanning, open the app, find the settings section, and look for "Scan Exclusions" or something similar. Add the folders you want to exclude and save the changes.
