Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to make exclusions for Appdata folders?

There is one particular folder which is located in C:\Users\%username%\appdata\local, but it needs to be an exception for each user profile on that computer, as employees hot desk.

I've tried using the %username% variable but it didn't work, I'm guessing because that only returns the currently logged on user.

Thanks,

Dave

Have you tried adding %APPDATA% to the exception list instead?

You could exclude

c:\users\*\appdata\local

I cant imagine doing that as that is where I find 90% of my malware, and on a shared pc no less. Sounds fun.

Try with %USERPROFILE%\appdata\local
