1) You have set the root of the monitored tree to C:\

2) You have closed WinCvs with the "Flat view" mode active

These two will make this happen.

Solution:
3) Hit the ESC key after starting WinCvs next time. It stops scanning.

4) Create a new browse location (View/Browse location/Change...) that
is not the root of the drive.

5) Remove C:\ from the browse location list by opening the combo box
and moving the mouse so that it is highlighted, then hit the Del key.
