Policy based restrictions

Top  Previous  Next

 

It is possible to restrict the functionality of the product using registry defined policies. The policies registry key is:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Mythicsoft\<%PRODUCTNAME%>

 

 

Search Paths

 

Restricting search paths is done via specifying 'Allowed' paths and 'Disabled' paths, as single regular expression REG_SZ string value.

 

AllowedSearchPaths

 

All paths must match the regular expression to be searchable.

 

Examples:

 

(C|D):.*

Restrict searches to only C and D drive:

C:\\Users\\

Restrict searches for just the C:\Users folder

 

DisabledSearchPaths

 

Search paths must not match the regular expression to be searchable.

 

Examples:

 

D:

Disable searching on the D drive

\.\.

Disable any use of directory traversal double dots '..'

Secret

Disable searching of any folder with 'Secret' in the path
