Banned rule will not work for files with extensions, that differ from specified. For example, if you will define HTML extension, for such rule will never match files with EXE extension. Note: You can use "*" and "?" wildcards in file extension. For example, if you want favorite rule to work with files of all types and with all extensions, just type asterisk(*). If you want rule to work with all rules, that begin from "r" letter, use r* as extension. Asterisk (*) matches any count of any letters. Question-mark (?) match one letter of any type.
• String in file - string, that will be searched in file, it's properties and it's name. If this string will be found in file, such file will be considered as banned, and will be processed as file with banned content (deleted or ignored). After you will finish banned item editing, just press "OK" button to apply changes.

Example

You may set file extension to "temp" and string in file to "data". According to such rule, Duplicate File Remover Pro will consider banned and will delete files "data640.temp", "XData_687687.temp" and "DATA_FILE_TX_BAK.temp", cause all this files have "temp" extension and have text "data" string in name.
