48 Diskeeper Operation
Reliability pane shows this information, recommends the page file configuration tool be run again, and provides
a link to run it.
File Exclusions
Diskeeper exclusion lists allow you to specify files and directories that will not be allowed to be processed by
Diskeeper in the Set It and Forget It or Manual defragmentation modes. For example, you might not want to
defragment temporary files that will soon be deleted.
Keep in mind that fragmented files that are excluded from defragmentation can "skew" the analysis results
displayed in the Job Report tab.
Diskeeper uses two lists one that you specify, and second "internal" list that you cannot modify. The exclusion
list that you create is described below. See page 49 for more information about the Diskeeper Internal
Exclusion List.
Click Diskeeper Configuration Properties in the Diskeeper toolbar or the Configure Diskeeper task
group in the Quick Launch pane, then select the File Exclusions option. Within this page, you can specify the
files, folders and volumes you want to be excluded from Diskeeper processing.
The following controls are available in the File Exclusions page:
Note: Wildcard file specifications such as * or ? are allowed.
