Hi everyone!
As I love to have my desktop clean I don't want to use icons... and I figured, isn't there any search bar that can execute a .exe file when writing a specific word etc.
Thats when I found Everything and also Rainmeter to handle a skin on the desktop for Everything.
For example;
I want to run bf1.exe, in the search Everything Id write bf1 and it would execute the .exe?
I've tried to read the command list, FAQ, macros etc. but as I'm a COMPLETE novice in this kind of stuff I can't figure out IF it actually can be achieved or not?
So, does Everything support to run an .exe directly from the search bar using Rainmeter with a macro maybe(?)
Possible to make specific search to run .exe directly
Re: Possible to make specific search to run .exe directly
Automatically running something might be a little dangerous.
Please try increasing the run count of bf1 so that pressing enter twice after searching for bf1 will launch bf1.exe:
Please try increasing the run count of bf1 so that pressing enter twice after searching for bf1 will launch bf1.exe:
- In Everything, search for bf1.exe
- Right click bf1.exe and click Set Run Count....
- Set the run count to 100 and click OK.
- Now all you need to do is search for is bf1 and press Enter twice.
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Keyboard tab.
- Type in open most run for Show commands containing
- Select File | Open most run
- Click Add....
- Press Enter and click OK.
- Click OK.
No, there is no API/Macro in Everything to execute files like this.So, does Everything support to run an .exe directly from the search bar using Rainmeter with a macro maybe(?)
