This is simple



Exclude all dirs except [PROGRAMFILES] & Subdirs and [SYSTEMDRIVE] and Subdirs, the rest of the exclusions will tke care of the rest.



Check on the community site for 'EasyExcluder'

That's not going to be "fool" proof as the user could save anything in the [SYSTEMDRIVE]/[PROGRAMFILES] or (user) created subfolder(s) under any of these which will be stores "virtually".

i've got it fixed with the easy excluder.



though i still find it strange that they didn't include something like

" Include files in current layer, exclude the rest"



or... would some software then stop working if people used this



isn't it better to include one thing, and exclude the rest? instead of excluding like 100 things?

but,.. perhaps it then wouldn't be a layer no more

Solipsist:



As it is set now means that Total Commander keeps it settings into it's own layer.

In this case the app is very extensive and should be configured like this.

I Would recommend to change the path of the wincmd.ini and the wcx_ftp.ini.

You can do that in the registry (virtual):



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander]

"IniFileName"=".\\wincmd.ini"

"FtpIniName"=".\\wcx_ftp.ini"

"InstallDir"="C:\\TOTALCMD"



These settings state that both INI files reside in the Total Commander dir instead of the Windows dir.

If you do it like this you could even remove the excludes.



Kind Regards, Starf0x

I am using Total Commander un-virtualized because it is portable by itself with all its plugins. The ini-files are stored in the TC program directory, so no need to write to the Windows directory or to the registry.

It's true though, in un-vitualized mode there isno way to reset the layer in case something goes wrong, but it did not happen so far. But just in case, I keep a backup copy of my TC.
