Question  How can I quickly populate the Path to search?

Note Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10 users: to set Simple Search-Replace to be in the right-click menu, you must first run the program as the Administrator. This is done by right-clicking Simple Search-Replace and choosing "Run as Administrator". After running Simple Search-Replace as the administrator you can go into the Options (F10) and check the option to "Add option to right-click of Windows Folders" and click Save. From this point forward you can run Simple Search-Replace by double-clicking on it or using the right-click menu on a folder in Windows Explorer.
