Exclude all folders except this

Hi, is it possible to exclude all user folders (C:\Users) except mine from the index?

Please try a negative lookahead regex filter:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Exclude tab on the left.
  • Click Add filter....
  • Set the filter to:
    regex:^c:\\users(?!\\gialandra(\\.*|$)|$)
    where gialandra is the user name to keep in your index.
  • Click OK.
  • Click OK.
