Unable to exclude hidden files

[Cynyster]

Hello there. I am attempting to use defraggler on a PGP encrypted volume. PGP tells me I am safe to defrag if I exclude the PGPWDE00 PGPWDE01 & PGPWDE02 files

These files will be in the root of every drive that is encrypted.

 

My trouble is this.

Even though I have hidden files showing (vis the windows explorer setting to show hidden and system files)

Defraggler does not give me the ability to exclude these files.

 

Could this be added to a future version? I wont be able to use defraggler unless and until I can exclude these files.

Hi Cynyster, and welcome to Piriform.

 

Defraggler doesn't have a problem excluding hidden files or folders.

 

Defraggler does not give me the ability to exclude these files.

 

 

Can you explain what you mean exactly by that, and I mean do the files show up in the Defraggler "Exclude" dialogue but won't stick in the list of excluded files, or are they simply not showing up?

 

I have no experience of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy?) encryption but others here may and may therefore know as to whether it could affect how Defraggler works.

 

Do you have any other encrypted files excluded?
