Paths to Exclude when Scan for Corrections

This list contains paths excluded from the disk search.

Note: The list is case insensitive.

To add paths to the exclusion list click the Browse button, select a path and click OK or simply enter a complete path string into the edit box. Entered paths then can be edited and added into the exclusion list - click the Add button.

Note: If the list contains an upper-level folder path, then you won't be able to add a subfolder (for example if the "D:\Temp\" folder is in the list, the subfolder "D:\Temp\Subfolder\" can't be added into the list). The reason for this is because the program disables from scanning all folders with their subfolders.

Tip 1: To skip searching folders with the same name on all drives simply enter a folder name beginning and ending with "\". For example, to avoid searching for corrections in folders C:\Recycled, D:\Recycled, and so on, add the string \Recycled\ into the exclusion list.

Tip 2: Adding string "Recycled" into the exclusion list will exclude from the scan all folders containing "Recycled" substring in their path:

    C:\Recycled\, 
    C:\Temporary Internet Files\Recycled\, 
    C:\UnexpectedRecycled\,
    C:\RecycledFailed\no-items\,
    C:\games\Recycled\,
    etc.

To avoid this enter a more precise keyword string for excluded path, for example

    C:\Recycled\
    \Temporary Internet Files\Recycled\
    \UnexpectedRecycled\
    \RecycledFailed\no-items\.

Items can be active/inactive. Checkbox indicates its state.

By default the exclusion list contains the following paths:


\$Recycle.Bin\
\BOOTWIZ\
\RECYCLED\
\RECYCLER\
\System Volume Information\
\Temporary Internet Files\

Important: Note for machines with multiple Operating Systems (OS) installed.
