Portable version 1.4 and 1.5

Thanks for the file lists.

Everything GUI exports only files/folders from your index.

ES will give the same results.

Result from CLI - 1921195 lines. (everything.exe -create-file-list .\offline\A.efu C:\)

everything.exe -create-file-list will go to disk to gather filenames.
This method of gathering filenames is different to how Everything indexes.

The most important note here is everything.exe -create-file-list will follow folder junctions where-as indexing does not follow folder junctions.

There is an issue with the following folder:

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Application Data"

This folder redirects to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data"

This is a circular reference.
Everything will stop scanning folders deeper than 64 levels.

Ok.
How can I get a clean list of files via command line?
On another computer the report is collected correctly.

You'll have to fix the circular folder reference as this is not normal.

Please make sure you are running a command prompt with limited privileges (not as an admin)
Please try under a different user profile.

-or-

Exclude the

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users

path from your -create-filelist:

everything.exe -create-file-list .\offline\A.efu C:\ -create-file-list-exclude-folders "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users"

I used "RunWithRestrictedRights"

The less rights, the better
Thanks!

Is that, this, RunWithRestrictedRights.exe ?

I take it that your normal (Windows) User account, ahk (or whatever it may be), does run with Administrative privileges (rather then with "Standard" user privileges?

This is intended to run tools from an enhanced process.
Not necessary for Everything.
Running the service and there is no Everything enhanced client.

I use Everything in LiveUSB version of Windows. All processes started with administrator rights...
