"C:\$\" And Sub-Directories Handling

[pauljayd]

I place all my work under the directory  "C:\$\" and in sub-directories (c:\$\Downloads, c:\$\Archive, etc.).
It makes for easy backup, typing, etc.,... a carry-over from early DOS days, I guess.
Anyway, I'm wondering what to do with the OptimizeMonthly, OptimizeDaily scripts, since they contain the exclusion for Zone 4, FileSelect, not  ... (or) DirectoryName("$*").
Should I precede/follow this with some other specification?

Thanks

The "DirectoryName("$*")" line in the standard MyDefrag scripts will cause any directory with a name that begins with a dollar, not to be placed in the zone for regular files (zone 5), but in the next zone (zone 6). There are several things you can do, for example change the line into something like this:

Code:

or (DirectoryName("$*") and not(DirectoryName("$")))

Note: you will have to do something similar for SelectNtfsSystemFiles().

Thanks for the response.
You've created a great utility here.
