User.ini

Post by void »

Everything 1.5.0.1397a adds support for User.ini

user.ini files can set your settings on Everything startup.
Users can still change settings, but the settings are lost when they restart Everything.

Use Policy.ini to lock settings.



Please make sure your settings are listed under an [Everything] section.

For example, to reset the Everything window to position 100,100:

User.ini

Code: Select all

[Everything]
window_x=100
window_y=100


Everything 1.5 will load user.ini files from the following locations:
  • exe-path\User.ini
  • %APPDATA%\Everything\User.ini


Everything 1.5 alpha with the alpha instance will load user.ini files from the following locations:
  • exe-path\User.ini
  • exe-path\User-1.5a.ini
  • %APPDATA%\Everything\User-1.5a.ini


Everything 1.5 with a custom instance name will load user.ini files from the following locations:
  • exe-path\User.ini
  • exe-path\User-<instance-name>.ini
  • %APPDATA%\Everything\User-<instance-name>.ini
