Zone filingExample: c:\windows\system32If you want to move all files of a certain type to one zone, enter a star before the file ending.Example: *.omg includes all files and folders ending in .omg. The star jumps over a number of symbolsand searches for the expression which is located behind it.Only files with a certain characteristic in their name and with the exact file ending are supposed to be captured.Example: *test*123*.txt includes all text files which contain a "test" and "123" in their name. This meansfor example: test123.txt (the star can only jump over zeros) or also xtestyz123abc.txt.Files can also be approached that are not constrained by where they are stored in a drive.Example: The rule \file.txt finds all files which are called file.txt, and lie in the root directory of any drive. Ifno drive letter is given and the rule starts with a backslash, a path is intended that is independent from thedrive on which the file it is located.If you want to include all sub-folders of a folder, use the backslash in the beginning and at the end of thefolder name and the star.Example: \windows\* all sub-entries of all Windows folders on all hard disksFurther examples:c:\hall?.txt - Here the question mark is any (not empty) symbol. It is also possible to cover c:\hallo.txt andc:\halli.txt or also c:\hall8.txt.O&O Defrag - 52
