There are ways to get around the following problem, but I want to mention that in Win2K it is not possible (for me, at least) to selectively scan a folder, or a group of folders, by selecting that option from the context menu, since it doesn't appear there. This is true for folders on the Desktop as well as folders in Windows Explorer. If, in addition to the folders, you highlight at least one file, then the option to scan with Avast will appear in the context menu, and all files, including those in the folders, will be scanned.
