Thanks so much. I will give your instructions a go.

I have a very unusual problem that maybe you're program can help me with. I'm trying to get my photo catalogue up and running. The program with it's catalog crashed many times and I had to start over again & again. I have had lots of problems with Photoshop Elements keeping my catalogue straigh...

I plugged in several drives all were NTFS and told program create and save offline a complete index of Everything. I thought that I has Everything indexed but it appears that I missed the part to try to get sub folders indexed as well I'm guessing that this can be done but how? And can I assume that...

I finally got around to looking at Everything as it concerns the question I had raised. I have this spare HDD attached to the PC by an USB3 cable into the back port from the USB3 caddy. The disk is formatted as NTFS. Windows THIS PC tells me that I have used about half of the 500GB drives capacity a...

I have tried all of the suggestions like only using rear USB port and eventually have it working & it's been assigned the letter 'E'. I have also been able to transfer lots of music onto it. I think that the problem may have been a faulty USB3 connector from HDD to PC because when I replaced the...

phototaker

It's a few hours later & I tried Windows update information & this time it allowed me to get to page. It was version 1903 1s I had suggested.see attached.

phototaker

I had tried to re format the HDD but when I went the Disk management I saw the attached which doesn't look correct I & I was concerned about proceeding because It seems to now think this HDD is part of my 'C' SSD drive.

phototaker

As far as I know there was little or nothing on the HDD. THe HDD is labeled at being 500GB. Why the snip shows 5MB also seems crazy unless its some reserved area for something Windows needs. I had hopped to use the is HDD to put all of my music files(which are a mess with many duplications) and once...

phototaker

The HHD is USB3 and attached to PC via USB3 cable.
If I go to 'This PC ' & click on it i'm asked to insert a disk. If I just look at 'THIS PC" it just says USB drive.

For Disk management see attached. The Disk appears to be empty. Perhaps I could just try formatting it?

phototaker

I was given a HDD in a USB caddy that is formatted NTFS. I thought that I might as well put files on it & since It's NTFS I thought that I could include it in EveryThing, but Windows 10 64 bit thinks otherwise. It seems that Windows thinks its a disk burner because when I click on it to open it ...

I have often used 'Everything' to search for files and see file that is no longer needed & just pressed delete to get rid of it. Today I say an old video file that was about 5GB & could not even select the right click menu before the PC froze. CTRL,ALT,DEl presented the offer to report probl...

phototaker

:P Firstly thanks for this wonderful program. I have a problem which I suspect 'Everything' can help solve. I have 4 portable USB drives which 'Everything' can see and index. On these drives there are literally a few thousand old mp3 tracks which were ripped from my old CD's. When I display audio on...

phototaker

I find using Everything great but I don't know much about more advance usages. I don't know if Everything can search names that are further along the complete path to a file, like whats after or between backslashes? If so how would this be done? If so can this data be held for off line search? Thank...

phototaker

Thanks for that. It now works for Everything itself.

I still have to figure out why Firefox prevents me from just clicking on your email link & going directly to your post.

phototaker

I have tuned on every option under general then stopped Everything then restarted Everything. Once PC opens but still asks for permission. The other opened OK. The message that popups can be seen attached. This permission problem also occurs with other programs as well so I assume that I also have a...

phototaker

I have 2 PC's I'm the only one who ever uses either of them but every time I click the 'Everything' icon to do a search I get asked for permission to do so.

This only happens one one machine & I can't figure our where to change setting.

Thanks

phototaker

See attached. I hope that this is whats needed. I have hundreds with the \f that I wish to delete.

Thank you

phototaker

I should not have used the word description. I should have said file name.

Sorry about the confusion

phototaker

I am looking for a list of files that are on a particular NTFS HDD what only has (\f) in its description. More so you understand I have lots of mp3' all of which were recorded from my CD's. They had been on iTunes but it appears that Apple assigns every track a jumbled 4 place alfa code that they co...

phototaker

Yes that is in the description

phototaker

Is it possible to isolate all files on a drive that have \f as for what to search for? If so could the same search handle more that one NTFS drive at once.

Thanks in advance

phototaker

I was wondering if there is any way to overcome the nonsense that Windows creates when you import photo's from a camera? I literally have thousands of jpeg files that were 'created' 5 years after the 'file was modified'? As far as I'm concerned the EXIF data from digital cameras should be the most i...

phototaker

Is it possible to set up Everything so that when I click on its icon it opens at a predesignated settings? For instance It might like it to have a default opening which displays today's files from today's, and/or also to have the date column date already sorted by size?

Thanks in advance

phototaker

Those 4 letters are I think what links mp3 tracks in iTunes to its library.

phototaker

I has looking for an MP3 audio track but this didn't work. I changed settings to look for everything rather than just audio but still didn't find it. I have added a snip below of just one of hundreds of similar tracks.

Any other ideas?

phototaker

I had to do a clear reinstall of Windows 10 & when it comes to 'Everything' I must not have checked the correct box. My problem is that I wish to find data that might be in either a folder or a subfolder, but I can't seem to get this to happen even though I think that I had previously done so. I...

phototaker

I have been trying out your beta version & having it try to index all NTFS drives & then storing the results for off line use. What I'm finding is that for instance look for pdf files it tells me that there are several stored on drive 'E'. Since I know that this 'E' drive isn't plugged into ...

phototaker

I know that Everything has many other features that I have never tried out like looking for duplicates. I have a problem that is a little bit like this only in reverse. I'm looking for things where there isn't a match, so that I can paste them onto another drive. Let me explain. I have had many majo...

phototaker

Thanks for the suggestions but I have already tried all of the suggestions expect the last using a different O/S. Reading on the Web lots of people are reporting similar problems with the 'Passport Ultra' but they don't seem to have a solution. I have even run Ashampoo's Win Optimizer & it creat...

phototaker

Sorry about that. I must have had what the grand kids call brain freeze.

Additionally I find that the PC won't shut down untill the drive is disconnected.

I have a Western Digital 2TB USB3 passport Elite portable hard drive that appears to have problems with Windows 10. If I plug it into a USB port while viewing Explorer (This PC) I hear the sound & several seconds later the drive letter pops up & on left hand side of screen where it calls it ...

I have been looking for a way to get all of my old photo's which are in Adobe Photoshop Elements sorted correctly. It seems that Windows sets the 'date created' as being the date the photos' that Windows wants to set as the default. This is despite the fact that the JPEG's have EXIF date which clear...

phototaker

I have just done a clean install of Windows on my PC this time with version 10. Every time I turn machine on I'm asked for permission to run Everything. Is there any way to give permission to be able to run automatically every time as I'm the only person who used the PC? Would I have the same option...

phototaker

Thanks that's great just what I want.

phototaker

Is there any way where I can select a category like video & add special extra file extension that are created by my editing software? For instance Vegas VideoPro created files for audio & other temp file. If so how is this done? Can I see what extensions are used currently used in each other...

phototaker

I love using your program because its so quick. I know that I'm not very knowledge able about such things but it seems to me that it might be possible to build upon what's already there to have the program do a comparison of what's it finds so that it could look for & possible delete any duplica...

phototaker

As simple as that. Thank you

phototaker

I have been looking at the Syntax menu but I shill can't figure out exactly what I need to enter.

I would like to nominates one drive say'd' & then have all files sorted my size.

How is this done?

Thank you in advance

phototaker

I know that some programs like Adobe Photohop elements has the ability to index external HDD's for all of your photo's that are plugged in. So if you plug in say a 'g' drive that was photo's it creates a thumbnails which it retails even after you unplug the drive. If you happen to be looking at your...

I plugged 3 external HDD's & they come up under NTFS. I have told the program to rebuild the data base but the only thing that happens is that I can see names of drives flash at bottom of screen and then nothing more. Do I have the delete the existing database first?

phototaker

I started the disk check but at the rate its going it would take weeks. It' being going for about 2 hours & hasn't moved more than a few sectors in the past 1 & hours1/2. I'll have to abort it. I'll as it to rebuild the database instead. If I do this can I plug in all USB device & get it...

phototaker

What am I doing wrong? I have used the program often with great success. Then the next time I open the program my clicking on the shortcut nothing happens. All I see is the toolbar at top & the blank area where you enter your search. There is nothing under that at all & this doesn't change e...

phototaker

I have read some postings & I see that there have been several questions about indexing so I'm assuming that it's a feature to which I haven't got all the answers or that I haven't found it yet. I'm guessing that what would happen is that you plug in an external HDD & tell the program to ind...

I finally got the time to go back to this. I look at the filters to add extra extensions. The all appear to have extension followed by ; the the 3 aphpa for each extension. I added 2 more to end of list. I thought that the program might update itself when the PC rebooted but it didn't. Do I have del...

Ever since Windows 7 came out I have been confused about library's. I wanted 'My Music', 'My Pictures' & 'My Documents' on another drive. I thought that I had moved them correctly but I always have my doubts as to where the file really is located. This is in part because every other program appe...

Thanks for the replay. One file that I found was the paging file which shows having 12GB. A few times recently I was running programs & got an 'out of memory' message. I thought the usual way to fix this was to increase virtual memory, & that this was normally kept on a separate drive. If th...

I have a SSD drive installed recently & only about 60GB had been used since I had or thought I had everything other then programs on other drives. Now the file size has grown to almost 200 GB. I see that Everything is supposed to be able to specify a range of sizes, but I can't see how to enter ...

phototaker

As I said in the previous posting I'm now getting all of my video files. At least the normal ones that have the well known files extensions. The video editing software that I use also creates several different temp files each time that I use the program. Is there any way to add these files extension...

Whenever I start my PC a windows pops up asking if I will allow the program to open & alter files. I click yes. I know that I probably can get rid of this annoying question if I alter my overall security settings. Can this allowing be done on a selected basis so as to allow certain programs auto...
