See Creating a Package Definition

The File and Folder Exclusions dialog box appears.
3. Click Add.
The File Exclude dialog box appears.
4. To exclude a file:
a. In File/Wildcard, specify a file.

variables surrounded by percent signs (%) to specify paths. To exclude the file
for all local drives, leave this field blank.
5. To exclude a directory:
a. In Directory, specify a directory. This causes Package Definition to ignore files
in the top level of this directory. You can use environment variables surrounded
by percent signs (%) to specify paths.
b. Leave File/Wildcard blank.
6. To exclude a file based on a wildcard:
a. In Directory, specify a directory. The wildcard you set will apply to files in this
directory. You can use environment variables surrounded by percent signs (%)
to specify paths. To exclude the wildcard for all local drives, leave this field
blank.
b. In File/Wildcard, enter a wildcard.
7. To ignore files that match these criteria in all subdirectories of the directory you
specified, mark Exclude Sub-Directories.

If you exclude a file or directory that is under a user profile, the user profile name is
replaced with a variable that always represents the current user profile name.

bottom of the dialog box.
If you clear this check box, any changes you make on this dialog box are saved in
the exclusions list and will affect exclusions for future package definitions.
