When I use Scrivener I tend to have quite a deep hierarchy of documents. Often, I'll use a child document for notes that I will write up in its parent document.

Currently, when I view by project in Group Mode, the word count of every sub-document is included in the "Total Words" column for a given document. How can I change this so that certain sub-documents (e.g., the "notes" documents described above) are excluded from the "Total Words" column?

I found this blog post which might offer some insight. There are several things which differ between Scrivener for Mac and Windows (at least, it think there are), though they're very close. It might help you locate the information you want.

You can change what Scrivener is counting to a degree (quote from the post):

If you want to modify how your statistics are calculated go to Project->Project Statistics and click options.

Hope that helps get you going in the right direction at least.
