Windows Admin Prompt

Post by bk1111 »

For some reason, when installing, every time the programs starts up it asks for an admin prompt.

Is there a chance of installing a script to configure this properly on install so it dosn't ask?

No other program has admin prompt; I can manually configure, but thought I would mention as it seems odd.

Wonderful program I use often, as easy to find things!.

All good wishes,

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
