In this window the user can set strings that will be ignored when scanning the registry. This means that if a registry entry contains a path like "F:\autorun\auto.exe" and the string "\autorun\auto" is in the excluded strings list, then Registry First Aid will not check this registry entry for any error (will skip this entry). The exclude list is case insensitive.
If a registry key value or data contains ANY of the strings in this list then this registry value or data will not be checked for possible errors. If the program searches for unwanted registry entries such values or data will not be searched.
This feature is useful to exclude CD-ROM, network or removable drive letters from finding them as "invalid" if they do not contain a media that a registry key is referenced to. For example, if your registry contains some references to files on a CD-ROM that currently is not in a drive and you do not want to remove those references from the registry then add your CD-ROM drive letter to the list. You may also add to the list, all your removable media drive letters. By default the excluded list is empty. So all links to files or folders on your removable drives will be found.
Items can be active/inactive. Checkbox indicates its state.
To add a string to the list, enter it in the edit box and press the Add button. To remove a string from the list, select it and press the Remove button.
