Excluding one folder (+ subfolders thereof) from search

[frable-pa]

I'd like to do a search that lists any folder or file not within, say, C:\Windows.

If this has been covered elsewhere, point me to where it is. Thanks.

add

!c:\windows

to your search query. ("!" means NOT; see the Everything Search Syntax for that information and a *lot* more useful search tips)

If the folder you want to exclude contains spaces -like c:\Program Files - enclose the foldername in "" :

!"c:\Program Files"
