Powertoys: Add ability to include/exclude certain drives/folders from PowerToys Run
In settings, ability to select folders to exclude.
I have many BIN files on my computer that get recognised when typing a number into PowerToys Run. I want to exclude these folders.
Proposed technical implementation details
In settings, add a "Select Folders" button that adds excluded folders. Existing excluded folders can have an "X" that would include them again.

The opposite could be a solution too: specify what folders you want to be searchable.
Launchy does it this way and I find it a good solution because in my case, I don't want any of my files/documents popping up, it only adds noise to searches since files can have random names. I only want app results. So in Launchy I specify where to search, which would be the Start Menu folder for app shortcuts. Then it will render app results when I search, as intended, instead of adding a lot of folders to exclusion.
