1.4.0.705b - results showing contents of recycle bin

Post by jeff66 »

Hi, I'm trying to render search results that don't show system folders, but I'm getting files from inside the recycle bin. On the Exclude page of options, I have checked the box next to 'Exclude System Files & Folders', yet I still get recycle bin results.

1.4.0.705b (portable)
Win 7 x64 Home
Everything service enabled
running as admin

I've tried rebooting the PC and have forced a rebuild of the index.

thanks, and thanks for a great utility.

Tools | Options -> Enable exclude list > Add Folder ...

C:\RECYCLER

Or whatever it may be called in your OS.

Shouldn't need to 'run ad admin' when using the service (unless you have specific reason to).

@therube, thanks, that did the trick. for any others who might see this, what worked for me was to go to the Exclude list and click 'Add Filter', then I added the filter:

*$Recycle.bin

This worked on Win 7 x64 to filter out results from the recycle bin across all drives, instead of just the C: drive.
