File Filtering on Specific Drive by Settings
File Filtering on Specific Drive by Settings
I am using a desktop program called Wox and it has a default plugin to search disk files using Everything. Their GitHub team said that to filter the results, everything should be done on Everything's side; then I tried checking out the settings of this tool and I did manage to globally exclude some files and folders, but now I want to include only files with .lnk and .exe extensions from the C drive (Windows), how can I achieve that through the settings?

- Change Include only files to:
*.lnk;*.exe - Click OK.

Thank you, but unfortunately I didn't see my typing-mistake of not including the C drive into my first post before posting it, now that the textual modifications have been approved, what would be the correct method to limit the search results of a specific disk partition through the settings?
