Wildcard characters in Advanced alerts

Question

Help please - I have an advanced alert set to monitor volume and send an alert based on a condition.  What I need to do is exclude any volume with a letter P in the beginning of the volume description.  We use the P volumes for our pagefiles and we don't want alerts for them.  Rather than having to click on every single node and deselect the P volume (I have over 400 server nodes) I would like to just exclude the P volumes.

I have tried P:\*     P:\%     P*     P%   and I still get the P volumes in my alerts.  Any ideas?

Thanks
