I'd like to use FileLocator Pro on a terminal server but need to do some restrictions, i.e. restrict C:.

At the moment the program opens up with the C:\ drive default. I would like to hide the C:\ drive and remove it from the drop down list. Ideally I'd like it disabled but if that's not possible I am OK if they type it manually.

Instead of the the C:\ default I'd like it to default to our Profile drive of P:\ and also have that in the list. It'd be even better for something like P:\PD\%USERNAME%\ in my case specifically.

From version 2022 (Build 3326) it is possible to restrict the searchable paths in the product using policies. The search path is validated against the following two registry policy values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Mythicsoft\FileLocatorPro\AllowedSearchPaths
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Mythicsoft\FileLocatorPro\DisabledSearchPaths

Both are regular expressions stored as strings (REG_SZ) that are used to match against search paths. To enter multiple paths separate the regexes with a semi-colon, which has the following affect:

AllowedSearchPaths: When multiple paths are specified ALL paths must match for the path to be searchable.

DisabledSearchPaths : When multiple paths are specified if any path matches the path is not searchable.

Example:

To restrict searches to only C and D drive use AllowedSearchPaths:

(C|D):.*

To allow all searches except C drive use DisabledSearchPaths:

C:

Note: This is a Pro feature.
