In subfolders, these applications will be scanned. ▫example.exe—excludes all applications with the name example and the .exe extension located in all folders. ▫example* —excludes all types of applications with the name starting with example located in all folders. ▫example.*—excludes all applications with the name example in all folders without regard for the extension. |
