But is usually a conjunction. However, there is one construction where it apparently should be treated as a preposition: when it means "except", e.g. No one but me has seen this / No one has seen this but me.

-- The but me could actually be a truncated clause, i.e. "No one else has seen this but I have seen this" but there is a disparity between this and other conjunctions (Either he or I am the guilty party --> Either he is the guilty party or I am).
