Sergio,
If you look closely at the list of DLL overrides you will see some files that
have an explicit extension (.cpl, .ocx, .acm). Moreover, any file name can be
entered manually if needed, including .exe or .sys or whatever is required.
Only files that can be loaded (have ELF or PE structure) make sense in
overrides so it doesn't make sense to add any .ini, .cab, .msi, .bat, .cmd or
similar (including pagefile.sys which is not a driver - just happens that it
has that name).
Are you trying to find a way to blacklist arbitrary data files? Hide them from
directory listing or file operations? This is a confusion generating and
dangerous path.
Regards,
Paul
