Replace Explorer for all but the following folders subdirectories

In Preferences > Launching Opus > Explorer Replacement I chose to "Replace Explorer for all but the following folders". I added M:\ but it does not apply to any subfolders of M:.

Is there any way to add M:*.* to the folder list instead of just M:?

Not currently, at least. The setting is intended for individual folders which are special like Recycle Bin and, on older versions of Windows, Control Panel.
