Excluded Windows

The purpose of the Excluded Windows category is to keep specific windows or sets of windows unprocessed by Actual Tools programs when the All Windows rule is enabled. This category generally includes system and other special-purpose windows that handle background tasks which are hidden from the user and do not involve user interaction. In other words, if you elect to enable the All Windows rule this is a way of telling the Actual Tools program to process all windows except those itemized under the Excluded Windows category. You can add and delete as many Excluded Window rules as you like, but you should exercise great caution deleting any of the Excluded Window rules which are listed in this category by default as the program ships from Actual Tools, since improper deletion could result in system instability.

Hint  You can disable the particular Excluded Window rule to force the associated target window to conform to the All Windows rule but you should exercise the same precautions as when deciding to delete an Excluded Window rule.

Like the Specific Windows category Excluded Windows require you to provide target window criteria for any specific window you wish to exclude from the Actual Tools program's processing.
