Note

The entries in the list must have no more than 6000 characters in total.

Note

For each drive you can specify a maximum of 20 exceptions by entering the complete

path (starting with the drive letter).

E.g.: C:\Program Files\Application\Name.log

The maximum number of exceptions without a complete path is 64.

For example: *.log

\computer1\C\directory1

The button opens a window in which you can select the file object to be excluded.

Add

With this button, you can add the file object entered in the input box to the display

window.

Delete

With this button you can delete a selected file object from the display window.

Please observe the following points:

– The file name can only contain the wildcards * (any number of characters) and

? (a single character).

– Directory names must end with a backslash \, otherwise a file name is assumed.

– The list is processed from top to bottom.

– Individual file extensions can also be excluded (inclusive wildcards).

– If a directory is excluded, all its sub-directories are automatically also excluded.

– The longer the list is, the more processor time is required for processing the list

for each access. Therefore, keep the list as short as possible.

– In order to also exclude objects when they are accessed with short DOS file names

(DOS name convention 8.3), the relevant short file name must also be entered in

the list.

– In order to exclude files and folders on connected network drives from the Guard

scan, specify the UNC path you use to connect the network drive in the list of

exceptions.

\\<Computer name>\<Enable>\ - OR - \\<IP address>\<Enable>\

Note

A file name that contains wildcards may not be terminated with a backslash.

For example:

C:\Program Files\Application\applic*.exe\

This entry is not valid and not treated as an exception!
