how do i exclude folders?

Post by BigDan »

I want to exclude the folder c:\users\administrator\appdata\

I can see how to navigate to the exclude folders section. But I cant navigate to the appdata folder under administrator, it doesnt show up. Is there a way to type in the path I want to exclude? I cant find that.

Please try adding c:\users\administrator\appdata as an exclude filter:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Exclude tab on the left.
  • Click Add Filter....
  • Type in the following filter:
    c:\users\administrator\appdata
  • Click OK.
  • Click OK.

For Folders option is it possible to add "Enable folder list" checkbox?
I think it is necessary to have the folder list saved, as it is for Exclude.
Thank you.

I will consider an option to toggle the folder list under Tools -> Options -> Folders.

Thank you for the suggestion.
