Using masks / wildcards
Hide Folders allows you to specify protected objects using masks.
The question mark (?) wildcard matches a single character in a file name. You can use multiple question marks in one mask.
The asterisk (*) wildcard matches zero or more characters in a file name. You can use multiple asterisks in one mask.

You cannot use the wildcards to substitute for a drive letter.
