Hello everyone,

I have this Excel list with approximately 200 names and I would like to perform a file explorer search of the files NOT containing any of the names in this list.

Any idea how to do this?

Thank you very much,

Windows does allow for boolean search. Possibly you could use the NOT operand to exclude the excel file or folder path. You can also use the minus to exclude a file/folder location.
Here's a pdf from Microsoft listing the boolean operators. Bolean Operators PDF Here
