Hi Zoltan,

Whether you use * or ? for the drive letter does not matter.

The specific problems you are seeing are not quite clear to me (would be
nice to have examples that show what you are seeing versus what you expect
to see...), but something else Paul wrote could also be applicable: that
the include statement file specification needs to have the \...\* in it if
you want the statement to apply to that directory and all its
subdirectories.

    include *:\mydir\* 15days

only binds files directly under *:\mydir to 15days. The above statement
will not bind files in *:\mydir\subdirx to 15days.

    include *:\mydir\...\* 15days

will bind all files in *:\mydir and its subdirectories to 15days.

- Andy
