Accounts

Post by srimuir »

I use normal user domain accounts in everyday use.
Is there any way to get Everything to only run within a normal user account, without needing elevation, and with it only searching through files that the account has access to?

To use Everything with a standard user account only and index only accessible files:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
    (This setting will require administrative privileges to change -If you are unable to obtain administrative privileges, please copy Everything.exe to C:\Everything and run Everything from C:\Everything )
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Uncheck Everything Service.
    (Leave checked if you don't have administrative privileges)
    ---
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Automatically index new fixed volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically index removable fixed volumes.
  • For each NTFS volume
    • Uncheck Include in database.
    ---
  • Click the Folders tab on the left.
  • Click Add Folder....
  • Add an accessible user folder.
  • Repeat for additional folders.
    ---
  • Click OK.
