Hi.. You can specify URL regular expression in the conf/regex-urlfilter file to just accept only the links that matches regular expression of profiles URLs.
I recommend not to use Windows for this (unless someone have a different opinion). May be you can try to install a virtual manager like Hyper-v and install Ubuntu OS on it and go from there.
