New Group Syntax

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Defense+ / Sandbox Help - CIS
#1

When forming a new group that contains one folder and all of its contents, the syntax CIS uses is:
C:\Program Files\SomeProgram*

Should it not be:
C:\Program Files\SomeProgram*

Does it matter? Will the first form define a group that contains every file and folder contained in C:\Program Files\SomeProgram? Because I subsequently use the Firewall to block that group and I want everything in that folder blocked from accessing the Internet.

#2

The "" before the asterisk just avoids the possibility of too many files/folders being included in your group.

C:\Program Files\SomeProgram*
Will include:
C:\Program Files\SomeProgramFoo
C:\Program Files\SomeProgramBar
C:\Program Files\SomeProgram\Foo
C:\Program Files\SomeProgram\Bar

C:\Program Files\SomeProgram*
Will only include:
C:\Program Files\SomeProgram\Foo
C:\Program Files\SomeProgram\Bar

So if you have many common named folders in a given directory, you’ll probably want to narrow it down to a specific folder by adding the "" before the wildcard.
C:\Program Files\SomeProgram*
