[*]Offline indexes will be lost when the index is rebuilt. All volumes must be online when Everything builds its index.[/list] What exactly does "rebuild index" mean? I'm very confused. When does it happen? Every time Everything is started? In which case then how can there be such a thing...

I disabled the User Account Control popup ("Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?") using the instructions below and wondering if there is some reason why I would want to run as administrator, and if so can I make it do that automatically every time i...

Is there a way to easily hide and unhide an offline volume, without it coming back online? In other words say my internal drive is C and I have an external drive D that I only connect once in a while. I have Everything set up to keep D in the index. I'd like to keep all its files hidden most of the ...
