  1. In Manage mode, click Tools | Database | Excluded Folder Settings.
  2. In the Excluded Folders dialog box, do one of the following:
    • To exclude a folder from the database, click Add. Browse to a folder on your hard drive, and then click OK.
    • To remove a folder from the excluded folders list, select a folder in the list, and then click Remove.
    • To reset your excluded folders list to the default settings, click Reset to Defaults.
  3. When you are satisfied with your choices, click Close to return to ACDSee 12.
