Items that you specify will be ignored if they change during a capture while this
configuration file is in effect. To edit an exclusion, double-click it in the list.

Converting User-Specific Files to Generic User Files

If you specify file, folder, or registry exclusions that have user-specific data in their
paths, the following prompt appears:
One or more file exclusions are located under your current user profile. Would you
like to change these file exclusions so that they apply to any currently logged-in
user profile?
If you click Yes in this prompt, a variable is inserted in place of user-specific data in the
exclusion list. This lets the SetupCapture configuration file work on any computer it is
transferred to.
Example:
Suppose the following file is in the exclusion list:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mariem\Cookies\Index.dat
That path won't exist on anyone else's computer, because a user name is part of the
path. If you click Yes in the prompt, the entry above is changed to:
Current_User_Profile\Cookies\Index.dat
Current_User_Profile will be replaced with the user profile folder for the computer that is
running SetupCapture.
You edit the exclusion list from SetupCapture Configuration, SetupCapture, or SOE
Snapshot.
See Setting File and Folder Exclusions
page 214.
You can specify registry keys and values to be ignored by SetupCapture or SOE
Snapshot.
1. Do one of the following:
Run SetupCapture Configuration and proceed until the Registry Exclusions
dialog box appears.
On the Welcome page of SetupCapture or SOE Snapshot, click Settings and
click the Registry Exclusions tab. If the Settings button is unavailable, you
might not have permission to change settings.
See Setting SetupCapture Configuration Security
Registry Exclusions might already contain entries. Items with a question mark icon
were added by the exclusion list building process. Items without a question mark
icon were already in the exclusion list.
2. Click Add.
The Exclude Registry Key dialog box appears.
