my G drive disappeared / how do I filter out .dll files

[BigDan]

I cant find anything on my G drive! Even when I type G: nothing shows up. It shows up in Windows Explorer. What do I do?

In the process of trying to add it I must've made some mistakes and the settings seem to have gotten shuffled around a bit. Now I'm seeing a bunch of unnecessary files and folders. A lot of them are .dll files. I went to exclude files and typed in .dll there but I still see lots of them. How do I remove them?

Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Does the issue persist?

none of those options were checked. the G drive issue got fixed a couple days ago. i think i did so by going to Options/Indexes/Folders and adding the G drive there.

How do I filter out the dll files? I already did so under Tools/Options/Indexes/Exclude but they still show up. I'm trying to exclude .ini and .dll files.

To exclude ini and dll files from your index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exclude tab on the left.
• Change Exclude files to:
  *.ini;*.dll
• Click OK.
