excluding (NOT) with the ! symbol

[paulhurm]

I know I can do something like "tax !lnk" to exclude the ".lnk" files from my search results.

How can I set this as a default condition so I don't have to type it in each time?

Thanks.

If you don't want .lnk to show up, exclude.

Tools | Options | Indexes -> Exclude --> Enable ---> Exclude files:

See if *.lnk does it?
