Following is a list of folders and files to be added as exceptions. Note that the list below uses MedicalDirector’s default installation locations. These may differ for your system if you have used customised installation locations. Please consult your System Administrator if you require assistance.

Whenever a file/folder path is referred to within this guide, please remember to add one of the following prefixes, depending on the Operating System you use.

For 32- Bit Operating Systems, use “C:\Program Files\”
