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?

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:
