Filter on %userprofile% and not show hidden folders

Post by Foley »

Hi,

I really like Your software as an IT Professional, but I'm looking to deploy this software to everyone. But before I do that I want to set it up for the users to include only theire user profile, and not show hidden files or directories under the NTFS part of settings. Is there a way to do this easily?

Hi! Did you happen to get this figured out? I've tried a ton of things, but haven't solved the problem. I have the exact same use case as you. Multiple users on the same computer; I only want %userprofile% indexed for any one user. I'd love at least a hint!

It's not possible with Everything 1.4.

It can be done with Everything 1.5

Add a custom folder:
%userprofile%
under Tools -> Options -> Folders -> Add custom...

Disable NTFS indexing under Tools -> Options -> NTFS:
Uncheck Automatically include new fixed volumes.
Uncheck Automatically include new removable volumes.
Uncheck Automatically remove offline volumes.
For each NTFS volume:
Uncheck Include in database.

This can also be done with Group Policies.
