I have a folder, several layers deep that needs to be skipped on any drive (Windows machines)
c:\Program Files\Quest Software\Quest Storage Suite\

The folder in this path "FileTracker" must be excluded, along with any subdirectories or folders.
Anything else under the described path must be included

This folder structure may exists on multiple drives, and I dont want to have to list all of them every time.

I was thinking about using this:
<</>>
+skip: FileTracker

But i am concerned that if there is a folder or file called filetracker out there somewhere else, that it will be skipped.
Any ideas?
 
Sure, this should work. NW will just look for the exact path- and/or filename. However, NW can not interprete whether you want to keep a specific path/file.

I would specify "<< / >>", not "<</>>" - the same as for existing directives.
