run as administrator, launch files as user

Post by frome »

Everything runs as administrator on my computer (I couldn't get the indexing to work otherwise). Every program I launch from Everything also runs as administrator. Is it possible to add an option that overrides that behaviour. Users could then set a target user account in the options and Everything would launch every doubleclicked file using those user credentials.

Try:
1.Enable the service by ticking Everything Service in Tools>Options>general.
2.Close Everything.In the properties of the Everything main program disable "Run as admin" . Restart Everything. See if this works...

What do you mean? There is no "properties" menu in Everything.

Suppose he means the desktop icon.
If you run the Everything service, there should not longer be a need to run Everything as Admin.
