Exclude a file type? *.lnk?

[RichE]

This is probably simple, but I can't seem to find just where and how to format an option to NOT included .lnk files. That is, any shortcuts.

Specific section/option in Tools/Options would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

Everything Options
Indexes -> Exclude => Enable exclude list

Then at the bottom, Exclude files:

Try either *.lnk or ext:lnk ?

See if either work?

[RichE]

Thanks, that seems to have done it!

BTW, ext:lnk didn't work, but *.lnk did.

To exclude lnk files from your index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exclude tab on the left.
• Check Enable exclude list.
• Change Exclude files to: *.lnk
• Click OK.

Thanks for the image Ghost_Dz,

You are setting the exclude filter for folders.

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


Exclude Indexing of Files Without Extensions

E've found that using this, will make extensionless files to not be shown on the program also, even if they are proper files and not just shortcuts.

any workaround to make both work?

Leave Include only extensions empty.
