    How to recursively exclude folderand all its files from Quick Access?


    Hi,

    Is it possible to exclude certain folders recursively including all its files and subfolders from Quick Access? I can remove them individually and they'll stay removed, but I'd like to be able to do it recursively.

    Thanks.

    :)

    How to recursively exclude folder(and all its files) from Quick Access

    Hi,

    Is it possible to exclude certain folders recursively (including all its files and subfolders) from Quick Access? I can remove them individually and they'll stay removed, but I'd like to be able to do it recursively.

    Thanks.

    There would have to be some sort of exclusion marker, option in Properties or an exclusion list I suppose- and there isn't as far as I know- sorry.

    Only this:

    How to recursively exclude folder(and all its files) from Quick Access

    You can exclude files by type. If the EditFlags value for a ProgID includes the FTA_NoRecentDocs flag:
    [table][tr][td]FTA_NoRecentDocs[/td] [td]0x00100000[/td] [td]Don't add members of this file class to the Recent Documents folder.[/td] [/tr] [/table]

    For example, this prevents .reg files from appearing in Quick Access:
