Exclude a file type? *.lnk?

This is probably simple, but I can't seem to find just where and how to format an option to NOT included .lnk files. That is, any shortcuts.
Specific section/option in Tools/Options would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich

Everything Options
Indexes -> Exclude => Enable exclude list
Then at the bottom, Exclude files:
Try either *.lnk or ext:lnk ?
See if either work?

Thanks, that seems to have done it!
BTW, ext:lnk didn't work, but *.lnk did.

Thanks for the image Ghost_Dz,
You are setting the exclude filter for folders.
Please remove the folder excludes and set
Include only files and
Exclude files at the bottom of the Exclude options page:
