Dell Data Protection Encryption - Personal Edition

I am having a problem configuring my DDPE software to exclude a particular file on my hard drive. I am trying to exclude my Cisco VPN Profile from being encrypted.  When setting up this software initially, I chose to encrypt the entire Hard Drive. Does anyone know how to tell this software to exclude a folder or file from being encrypted?

Thank You,

I would have to research this but my first reaction is that you cannot exclude a folder from encryption (I could be wrong).  I know you can do it with Symantec but I want to say with Dell that is either not an option or an act of Congress.

Let me double-check.  You may have to unencrypt the drive and re-encrypt with the exclusion.

Can you share with me where you obtained this information? Does it contain information on how to tell DDPE to exclude files? Everything that I have found up to this point has been very limited on how to set things up. Thanks for your help!!
Sorry estebs1978, I should have clarified Im using the personal edition, not the enterprise edition. I will read through this to see if anything may relate.

Thanks
Normally (not in every case), the Enterprise Edition has more features than personal edition so things should relate.
