Everything executed software has different user privilages

[Gugli]

Hi All,

First of all I would like to say that "everything" is the single most useful tool I am running on my pc, I can do without other utilities but not without "everything" so thank you for this brilliant piece of software.

I am running version 1.2.1.371 on windows 8.1 and it starts on startup.

The problem I am running through is that every executable I run from everything seems to have a different user privilage, preventing me to open files, or save edited files even, e.g.

1) I execute notepad++.exe from everything, when I drag a text file from my desktop it will not open it.

2) I for example cannot even execute notepad.exe from everything.

I tried running everything as administrator and it did not fix this issue.

Any help is appreciated.

This issue is caused by Everything 1.2 running as an administrator.

Please consider upgrading to Everything 1.3

Everything 1.3 can run as a standard user so applications you run from Everything will also run as a standard user.
You will need to install the Everything service from the Everything installer (this will be the default option).

I updated to Everything 1.3 and I think the problem is solved.

I still cannot execute notepad.exe though, I just realized that everything does not find the notepad.exe in system32 folder. Are system folders excluded as a security measure, or is it because everything is not running as administrator. Btw it is not that running notepad.exe from everything is a crucial thing to do, I am simply asking out of curiosity.

Thanks.

Most likely this, http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopi ... 63&p=13830.
With the same "solution", so try the "Everything" version 1.4 Beta.
