Hi, does this only affect Plugin ID152357? Or will it affect all plugins?

The settings Windows Exclude File Path only applies to "Windows file search" options, and only for plugins currently relying on unmanaged_software_windows.nasl (plugin 152357) for detection. The plugins dependent on plugin 152357 are available at https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/152357/dependents.
** thorough checks need to be enabled
Plugins not using Windows Unmanaged Software to do their file searches will not use this setting.
