Getting the hang of excluding files/directories

Running 7.6 on Vista home premium

 

I thought I had set three filters that would exclude

1) any directory named Temp

2) any directory named Temporary Internet Files

3) any file or directory with `cache' in its name

 

None of that happened when I ran the backup.

 

Under the filter that begins:

include everything

 

exclude:

I had

+ Names excactly matching Temp

+ Names exactlhy matching Temporary Internet Files

+ name matches pattern cache

 

Apparently I do not understand how this is supposed to work.

 

See screen shot of exclude dialog here:

It would really be handy if the exclusions were available to edit by hand... maybe they are.

 

But anyway... what am I doing wrong.
