System Variables?

I'd like to use System Variables for AV exclusions.  Can you tell me if this is possible (doesn't seem to be when I've played with it) and if it is possible, what is allowed?

If you can point me to an appropriate KB article that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

  • the system drive could be different to the usual C: drive

    You don't have to specify the drive. But a localized version of Program Files poses a challenge (but no longer in Win7)

    D:\Documents and Settings\User1\Local Settings\

    I recommend against excluding these. To repeat - do not exclude a user's Local Settings. In rare cases it makes sense to exclude a specific (program) folder from on-access scanning but then you should perform regular scheduled scans in these areas.
