Prevent OneDrive from syncing all *.lnk files other than folder .lnk file

Question

According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/use-group-policy, you can configure the regedit to prevent the OneDrive from syncing specific types of files. I want to prevent it from syncing all shortcut files except for shortcuts for folders. How can I achieve this on the regex changing strings on HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive\EnableODIgnoreListFromGPO ? Is it even possible?

Hi @Cho, Albert

Currently, we are unable to achieve your request.

The specific kinds of files means files with specific extensions. It will not continue to be subdivided, such as the shortcuts for folders, executable files and .etc.

Thanks for your understandings.
