New Feature: Ability to Hide Performance Counters from Pull-down Menus in Argent Commander

<ARGENT>

	<!-- Wildcards (*) are supported in all cases -->
<EXCLUDE MACHINE ="*" OBJECT ="CustomObject" COUNTER ="CustomCounter" INSTANCE="CustomInstance" /> <EXCLUDE MACHINE ="SVR1" OBJECT ="Disk" COUNTER ="Free Space" INSTANCE="Z:" /> </ARGENT>
