Is there any other command line functions for SDFiles.exe?

In the registry it shows this:

"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDFiles.exe" "%1" /ask

I found on my system it takes awhile to even load the scan dialog. I would like to scan drive D and some folders on Drive E, I don't need to do a memory check each time this is loaded. The scanning one file at a time takes quite a long time. Anyway to speed the scanning up? Note drive D & Drive E are not literally separate drives, I just partitioned my drive that way. I have windows xp sp3

I have already ran spybot S&D on Drive C.

Hello,

The single files scan is meant for to scan single files and not complete drives.

Spybot-S&D usually scans all internal harddisks automatically. But a general recommendation is that you store all incoming files (downloads) in a special folder, and that you set up this folder for a special installer scan. Please have a look at the "Directories" in the "Settings" when you run Spybot - Search & Destroy in "Advanced Mode". There you can add additional harddisks or folders.

You can also use the command line parameter allhives.
/allhives
Scans all windows installations on your system, even inactive ones.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /allhives
