Hi Brian
Is that the Windows live mail Application or were you accessing that in a browser?
Either Way, Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
Find that application on Processes Tab, right click and choose 'Open File Location'
Note down the exact path to that, and then add that to the list . ..
I know this is a pain to do, Microsoft really should make this process easier to do. But honestly there is a lot of ransomware around at the moment and you don't want to leave your system vulnerable . ..
