To exclude files without an extension from your index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Exclude tab on the left.
  • Change Include only files to: *.*
  • Click OK.
-or-
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Exclude tab on the left.
  • Change Exclude files to: regex:^[^.]*$
  • Click OK.

What happens?

Could you please send a screenshot of your Exclude settings under Tools -> Options -> Exclude
Could you please send an example of a filename that is showing in your result list.

Thanks for the image Ghost_Dz,

You are setting the exclude filter for folders.

Please remove the regex:^[^.]*$ folder filter.

Please remove the folder excludes and set Include only files and Exclude files at the bottom of the Exclude options page:


Exclude a file type? *.lnk?
