Can I get a clearer understanding of setting exceptions that aren't Md5? Setting the Path Mask:
Is this format correct when trying to set an exception for an entire file? %ProgramFiles(x86)%Open Dental
In this case I want to set an exception for the Open Dental program.

Hi there, 
 
In theory that path should work. However I say that when in doubt go as specific as possible. For example I would typically suggest taking out the percent signs and adding in the drive letter, like this: 
 
C:ProgramFiles(x86)Open Dental
 
You can find more specific information here as well:
