Sequrity prompt

Post by KoenPiller »

Hi,
I have installed 64 Everything as Administrator and are presented with each new start of Everything with a prompt to approve that Everything will perform changements on my hd.
Is there a setting in order to have this prompt once for all killed?
Regards,
Koen

What version of Everything?

> I have installed 64 Everything as Administrator

Probably that.

Try using the Everything Service instead of (running as, is that what you're doing?) Administrator. (Or is it only installed as Admin? If the latter, try uninstall, then install as "regular" user, using the Service.)

Hi,

I am now using version 1.4.0.713b(x64)

The 'problem' I described was with all previous versions, always installed as 'user'. So I decided to de-install and reinstall with the newer version now as Administrator. AFAIK no difference, always that prompt.

Do I maybe have to set value in the Registry?

Regards,

Koen

The security prompt is a warning because you are trying to run Everything as administrator.

Please make sure Run as administrator is disabled in Everything:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything service.
  • Click OK.
Please make sure Run as administrator is disabled in Windows:
  • Right click a shortcut to Everything.
  • Click Properties.
  • Click the Compatibility tab.
  • Uncheck Run this program as an administrator.
  • Click OK.
If Everything is still trying to run as admin, please try modifying your Everything config manually:
  • Completely exit Everything (Right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
  • Open %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
  • Change the following line:
    run_as_admin=1
    to:
    run_as_admin=0
  • Save changes and restart Everything.

Hi,

That did it! Thanks a lot.

P.S. little hint: extend the Everything.chm file with this as well. Tab customizing seems a logical place for me. For the rest only [img]%20%20[/img]
