Adding a prole
A prole is a set of le exclusions, registry exclusions, and options to purge les to ensure that there is

● Registry Exclusion: Registries specied in this category will be excluded from the overlay.
● Purge on Marker: HP Write Filter will delete les specied in this category from the overlay when 
overlay usage reaches dened marker settings.
● Purge on App Exit: HP Write Filter will delete les specied in this category from the overlay when the 
specied app is exited.
● Purge Exclusion: HP Write Filter will exclude les listed in this category from being deleted.
