Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible to set the program to prevent changes to the files that appear in search results.
I use the program only for file searches and any changes I might make to the search results I have to consider as unintentional, other users probably consider this aspect useful and functional.
I'm talking about the ability to rename files, for example, or move them... I would therefore like what I see in the search results to be only readable and not editable.
I already use the option to open the path by double-clicking on the address, so if I need to make changes I do them directly from the Windows folder.
If it were possible I would like double clicking on the file to only open it.
Thanks in advance

(Hmm.... You might call that, -safe-mode.
Sets -read-only & some switch to disable efficacy of just about all else.
Woops, I thought I was in the fake science forum, or should be just call it placebo

Re: Prevent unwanted file changes in search results
To lock down Everything:
allow_context_menu
allow_delete
allow_rename
allow_cut
allow_copy
allow_paste
allow_drag_drop
- Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
- From the Start menu, search for:
notepad - Right click Notepad and click Run as administrator.
- In Notepad, from the File menu, click Open...
- Open your C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.ini
- Change the following lines:
1 = allowedCode: Select all
allow_open=1 allow_context_menu=1 allow_delete=1 allow_rename=1 allow_cut=1 allow_copy=1 allow_paste=1 allow_drag_drop=1
0 = disallowed.
-in your case, leave allow_open, allow_context_menu and allow_copy enabled (1).
Set allow_delete, allow_rename, allow_cut, allow_paste and allow_drag_drop to: 0 - Save changes to your Everything.ini
- Exit Notepad.
- Restart Everything
allow_context_menu
allow_delete
allow_rename
allow_cut
allow_copy
allow_paste
allow_drag_drop

Thanks for the explanation!
Unfortunately, I don't think "run as administrator" is possible...we'll see...
