How can I make all files in a folder, or all files in all recursive folders Elevated, Blocked, or Allow & Log?

There are two methods to Elevate, Block or Allow&Log multiple files and folders.

Method 1: Using FILE TYPE.
For FILE target type, you have to specify a file path. For instance:

%programfiles%\Contoso\App.exe

%programfiles%\Contoso\*.exe

%programfiles%\*\DogFood.exe

Method 2: Using FOLDER and/or Folder+ Recurse type.

you should specify a folder path, such as

%programfiles%\Contoso

%programfiles%\*

%programfiles%\*\DogFoodFolder

The difference between these two types is that

  • The Folder path condition only applies to all files in the specified folder.
  • The Folder (recursive) path condition applies to all Descendant files.
