Using variables in on-access scanning

I need to exclude some files under user directories. The directory structure is constant across all systems in the form of "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application Data\..... where xxxx = users name (jdoe, sdoe, ....). Is there a solution to this problem that does not entail me creating exclusions specific to each user ( think hundreds of exclusions)?

Thanks

Hello bjbailey21,
this is not possible, please see howto exlude directories by using variables like %windir% (typos as written in the original subject :smileywink:) for some explanation and also the discussion in System Variables? My usual response is - why do you need to exclude some files, i.e. which issues do you encounter and what are these some files? How did you find out that you have to exclude them?

Hello bjbailey21,
I've asked about the details as you are , as you've said, not looking for an answer but a solution (other than excluding all D&S or even turning off on-access scanning). But of course it's up to you (how) to pursue this.
