Exclude files starting with ~$ ?

[glassjaw]

First, thank you for this amazing product. I've found it long time ago when Microsoft introduced search which sucked, and still sucks. I am still using this software, and it is one of the first that I download when install any Windows!

My question is, can I exclude files from results that start with "~$" (without quotes)? Those are some hidden duplicated MS Office files that I don't want to see in the results. But I don't want to omit ALL hidden files and folders...

Thanks!

Yes:

- Go to Menu => Tools => Options => Indexes => Exclude
- In the Exclude files field, type

~$*

- Press the OK button
- Wait until Everything finishes excluding these files
- Done.

Thank you, it worked. But using that same logic, I want to exclude files starting with "$", and it does not work:

[void]

Everything uses semicolon (;) delimited lists.

Please try changing your Excludes files to:

*.lnk;~$*;$*

Unfortunately it still does not work with adding $, but ~$ is fine. Indexes rebuilt.

[void]

Add the same filter to your exclude folders:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exlucde tab on the left.
• To the right of the exclude folders list, click Add Filter....
• Set the filter to the following and click OK:
  $*
• Click OK.

Folders, yes!

Thank you!
