What is a VENTOYIGNORE file?
A VENTOYIGNORE file is a marker file used by Ventoy, an open-source tool that allows users to create bootable USB drives. It contains a list of file or folder names in plain text format, with one entry per line, that tells Ventoy what to ignore when it scans the USB drive for bootable images. VENTOYIGNORE files allow users to keep extra files on the drive without affecting the boot menu or accidentally booting from unwanted images.
More Information
Ventoy is an open-source tool that allows users to create bootable USB drives by simply copying .ISO, .WIM, .IMG, .VHD, and other image files to the drive. Users can specify patterns in VENTOYIGNORE files, such as wildcards, to ignore multiple files at once. This functionality is useful for users who want to organize multiple bootable images or maintain a USB drive with additional non-bootable files, without Ventoy displaying them in the boot menu.
How to open a VENTOYIGNORE file
You can open VENTOYIGNORE files with any text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad or Apple TextEdit. To apply the ignore rules, place the file in the root directory of the Ventoy USB drive or in specific folders on the drive, depending on the Ventoy version. Editing the file is straightforward, but you should ensure the file names and patterns are correct to avoid unintentionally hiding bootable images.
