Exclude folder paths using environ variables (%temp%)

[TedGlass 0]

I want to exclude a particular file from being scanned by ESET. The file runs in the user's temp folder, this cannot be modified.

 

When I add the static folder/file path to my policy, it works. But that only works for the particular username I hardcode into the path. I want to be able to set this at the policy level and have it work for all logged in users at the client level.

c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\filename.ext

 

When I use the %temp% variable, it does not work.

%temp%\filename.ext

 

How do i make this work?

 

Thanks

You can exclude c:\users\*\folder_to_exclude to exclude the desired folder for all users. As for the %temp% variable, it resolves to c:\windows\temp for the local system account by default.
