How exclude shortcut link from results?

[burgundy]

How do I exclude shortcut links being listed in the results?

I have tried using *.lnk in Options > Indexes > Exclude but it does not do what I want. It doesn't seem to do anything although other filters in the list work fine.

I am using version 1.4 .

Create a Filter with this:

Code: Select all

!ext:lnk;url

[void]

You might be excluding folders only?

To exclude lnk files from your index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exclude tab on the left.
• Select your *.lnk filter and click Remove.
• Change Exclude files to: *.lnk
• Click OK.
