Making the file hidden from a search

You could use the search tool Everything, https://www.voidtools.com. Exclude that file from the index in Everything. Running a search in Everything, or TC set up to use Everything as its search engine, would not find the file.

Go to Configuration > Options > Ignore list and press the Help button there (or F1 on the keyboard). It explains what the ignore list can and can't do.

TL;DR: I don't think it's possible to achieve what you want. You can either hide desktop.ini in a specific location (with an absolute path) or in all locations, but not on a single volume.

View Mode & Auto Switch Mode
Options:
1. Switch ignore list on "D" drive (with "desktop.ini" on list)
OR
2. Set rule for hide "desktop.ini" on "D" drive only.
