To specify the file types to hide, open the “Start” menu on your PC and search for “Indexing Options”. Then click that option in the search results.

On the “Indexing Options” window that opens, click the “Advanced” button.

On the “Advanced Options” window, click the “File Types” tab.

In the “File Types” tab, you see all the file formats that Windows currently displays in its search results. To exclude a file type from the index, deselect that type in the list.

Then, at the top, click the “Index Settings” tab.

On the “Index Settings” tab, next to “Delete and Rebuild Index,” click “Rebuild.” This creates a new search index, which, when finished, will have removed your selected file type.

In the prompt that appears, click “OK” to continue to rebuild the index.
