How can one easily select a folder but exclude subfolders?

Is there a way to select a folder but not the subfolders?

Example:

Given the following folder structure:

C:\
FOLDER_A
FOLDER_B
FOLDER_C
FOLDER_1
FOLDER_2
FOLDER_3

I want to scan only those files that reside in FOLDER_A.

The actual folder structure I am working with has dozens of subfolders, so selecting the top folder and then deselecting all the subfolders is quite time consuming. I tried using "*\*" and "\*" in the "Files to Exclude" filter (with Wildcards selected), but that did not work.

First time someone has the need for doing this, but beside using the Space bar and the down Arrow key to quickly unmark the sub folders, I see no other way.

I will make the request to add something that will alllow to unmark all sub folders on one go.
