I have trouble with a password-protected archive. I have the same archive on two disks in my computer, the main disk and a second disk where I keep backups of much of the content on the first disk.
I’ve tried adding an exclusion for the password-protected archive and strange enough it works just fine for the first disk but not for the second disk although the path is exactly the same on both disks except for the drive letter.
My first disk where the exclusion works just fine looks like this…
D:\Install\MSFS\FSX\Payware\NOT USED\REX*
…and the second disk where the exclusion for some reason I don’t understand looks like this…
E:\Install\MSFS\FSX\Payware\NOT USED\REX*
Might also mention that I’ve tried entering the exclusion both directly in the settings for Full System Scan and also in Global Exclusions but the result is the same, it will only work for the D disk and not for the E disk.
Is this some kind of bug or what am I missing here…?
Try ?:\Install\MSFS\FSX\Payware\NOT USED\REX* the ? is a single character wildcard, so should work on both D and E drives.
Though I would suggest that you limit the exclusion to the password protected archive file, change the * to\filename.zip etc. or you could be exposing your system through this hole in security.
Well, that tip was really to prevent having to have lots of essentially duplicate entries in exclusions. But it is a mystery why the individual entries didn’t work for both, but the wildcard does.
Well spotted there Igor and don’t ask me how that ¨ended up there on the E, must have stumbled on my keyboard somehow
Will continue to make use of the wildcard (?) but just for testing purposes I again added an exclusion using the E drive letter and performed another full scan and this time it completed just fine with no warning messages so all is good!
