File Paths | Trend Micro

Views:

You can configure Application Control to specifically target certain directory locations based on absolute path, storage type, and Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE).

Select whether to match by a specific path or a storage type, and specify the match string type (String or Regular Expression (PCRE)). Type the file paths that apply to the criteria.

Note

Application Control supports the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard when specifying a String type match. The asterisk character can represent one or more characters in a subdirectory of the specified string location.
Application Control does not support the use of environment variables when specifying file paths for String or Regular Expression (PCRE) type matches.
You cannot use wildcard characters to indicate the entire contents of the selected storage location.
You can specify up to 100 file paths.
