How to inside the 'Exclude' page (Options) exclude a folder, but not all of it?

[Oblomov228]

For example if I want to exclude all of 'C:\', except for 'C:\Users\David'

[void]

Use regex negative lookahead.

To exclude c:\ except c:\users\David:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exclude tab on the left.
• Click Add filter....
• Set the filter to:
  
  regex:C:\\(?!Users($|\\David($|\\)))
• Click OK.
• Set exclude files to:
  
  regex:C:\\(?!Users($|\\David($|\\)))
• Click OK.

Alternatively, include only C:\users\David:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• Select your C: drive.
• Set Include only to:
  
  C:\Users\David
• Click OK.
