How to exclude items from content conversion

If you decide that some types of items are causing problems when they are being converted, you can exclude them from being converted. The item attributes are indexed in the usual way and the item is archived in its native format but not converted to HTML. The user will not be able to preview an item that has not had its content converted to HTML.

To exclude items from conversion, add the item's file extension to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \KVS
   \Enterprise Vault
    \ExcludedFileTypesFromConversion

The format for the key is as follows:

.filetype[.filetype].

For example, to exclude *.JPG and *.CAD files from conversion, set the key to the following:

.JPG.CAD.

The registry key lists all the file types that are not currently converted.
