You can trim this down a little to eliminate redundant EXCLUDEs:

EXCLUDE "*:\microsoft uam volume\...\*"
EXCLUDE "*:\winnt\profiles\...\*"
EXCLUDE "*:\smartcan\*"
EXCLUDE "*:\ea data. sf"
EXCLUDE "*:\wp root. sf"
EXCLUDE "*:\ibmdos.com"
EXCLUDE "*:\msdos.sys"
EXCLUDE "*:\io.sys"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\system32\config\...\*"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\*.tmp"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\*.par"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\*.swp"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\swapper.dat"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\ea data. sf"
* Do you really have files named "pagefiles.sys" (plural)?
* You can also remove the "...\" and just say
* EXCLUDE *:\pagefile.sys since these are always in the
* root directory.
EXCLUDE "*:\...\pagefiles.sys"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\pagefile.sys"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\ibmbio.com"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\profiles\...\ntuser.dat"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\profiles\...\ntuser.dat.log"

* Unless these appear in any of the EXCLUDEd directories
* above, these three INCLUDEs can be removed.
INCLUDE "*:\...\DSM.OPT"
INCLUDE "*:\...\SLIP.INI"
INCLUDE "*:\...\TCPIP.CFG"

I also have the following EXCLUDEs in my own dsm.opt file:

EXCLUDE "*:\...\Temporary Internet Files\...\*"
EXCLUDE *:\...\temp\...\*

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
