Thank you! I will check these things next time it happens. Also, I missed version 1.5, so I will upgrade to that now.

Does it show the foldername itself in the resultlist? Are none of the files in this folder shown or just some of them? First guess: these files are hardlinks. Everything 1.4 sometimes has a hard time keeping track of them. A Force Rebuild should fix that (temporarily). Everything 1.5 does a much be...

I've found a couple of times where ESE will not show the contents of a particular folder. I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling but that does not fix it. The only way it will find the files I'm looking for is to make a copy of the folder. ESE then will find the contents of the copied folder. The...

Try it! Search the partition that has your Windows installation on it (mine is 8.1). Here's what I see. I do not see ES does not show c:\windows\explorer.exe "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\Critical_explorer.exe_c75e376847f58be7b9321677e66960b9d1cb_f9ec8dbb_3e2be495" &q...

I'm not sure how to answer the questions. I don't know what you mean by "using File Lists or Folders" or if I've "disabled updating of the drives in question". I would not have intentionally done that, nor do I know how to do that. AFAIK, I'm just using the default installation o...

ES shows files that do not exist. I think I have connected external drives in the past that have had these files, but the drives are no longer connected. Yet ED still remembers the files and shows them in a search. For example, if I search for OutlookConvert-Full, I see the following entries, but on...

can I ask a dumb, noob question? What are these file lists useful for? I don;t see the purpose of them, and I'd hate to be missing out on coolness!

Another vote up for this. I use Everything so many times in a day, I'd love to have faster access to it.

Thanks!

Just dropped you a more "tangible" thank you via PayPal. Thanks for such an awesome tool - Darryl and Justine.

Oh, I am so happy I can barely contain myself! The issues are fixed in the beta! IMHO, this latest update launches SE into #1 spot as THE BEST WINDOWS UTILITY EVER!!

Thanks so much!!

Ooh... I didn't know about the beta. I'll try that and report back.

On a side note, any chance there eventually might be a version that might work in Windows RT?

Strangely, the problem went away and this all worked OK for a while. Then for some reason, I had to reset Internet Explorer, and after that, the problem surfaced again. I wish I could figure this issue out.

Thanks "therube"! You nailed it - the problem was a failing hard drive. I replaced it and I'm up and running again!

When I start Everything Search, it hangs "Scanning (c:). The scan never completes. If I try to close the program, it hangs. It used to work fine, but now no longer works. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling and I've rebooted. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

a partial workaround is to right-click the file that I find in SE, and then click "Open Path". The folder opens with the file highlighted. I double-click the file to open it, then the custom button assignments do work. I wondered if there was any word on a resolution for this issue. Or pe...

any word of the optional deskband?

There appear to be several threads on this but no answer.

Come on, Void Tools? This is a great app, but how about answering this issue? Tell us if there is or is not a way to fix this problem..
It's pretty poor security practice to force us to run as an admin on the system in order to run this app.

I have the same problem. I've tried removing and reinstalling and I've tried giving non-admins Full rights to the everything folder and the files withing. Nothinbg helps. On all systems, non-admins cannot run Everything Search. It's pretty poor practice to have to run as an admin on the system just ...

OH GOODY! An AWESOME product will get even better!!!

Any idea whn it might release?

Thanks!!

OK, thanks. For now, a partial workaround is to right-click the file that I find in SE, and then click "Open Path". The folder opens with the file highlighted. I double-click the file to open it, then the custom button assignments do work. A small extra step, but well worth it for the terr...

It looks like I was running Everything with admins, but I turned that off, shut down the process then restarted it and I see the same problem. Does Everything run with Admin by default? Is there a way to turn that off or otherwise fix or workaround the problem?

Thanks again!!

The problem is cause by "Everything" having administrative privileges and your mouse/keyboard software having limited privileges. Applications run from "Everything" will also have administrative privileges. Interesting... so should I set Everything to not use Admin proveleges? T...

I've noticed a significant pattern. Custom assignment for mouse and keyboard buttons do not work in any file that I open by using Search Everything. For example, if I search for a Word doc in SE, then double click the located doc, custom assignment for mouse and keyboard buttons do not work in Word....

Tried that but it caused big problems with getting the Logitech and MS IType software to run at all. After I removed the run as admin settings, neither program would start properly with Windows. I had to use Revo uninstaller to strip both programs form the computer then reinstall them to get them wo...

I wonder if anyone might have some ideas about this. I have a Microsoft Ergonomic Natural Keyboard 4000, and I've changed the keyboard settings – for example the three buttons on the top left (Web, Search, and Mail) are set in Intellitype to Cut, Copy and Paste. Similarly, I have programmed my mouse...

This is such a great tool!!

I wonder – is it possible to create a “Deskbar” on the taskbar, much like the Windows Search deskbar?

Thanks!!
