Using Win 10 64, Everything 1.4.1.935 (x64)
I was searching for this file: msvcr100.dll. It appears in numerous folders on my pc and they all show up in Everything's search results except for the Windows\System32 folder which I was specifically looking for. I can confirm the file is in System32's folder. Strangely, if I search for "msvcr" it will show msvcrt.dll, msvcr120.dll, and msvcr100_clr0400.dll in System32 but not msvcr100.dll.
Why is this?
I have "Hide protected operated system files" in Folder options unchecked. I have "Exclude hidden files and folders" and "Exclude system files and folders" in Everything options unchecked. I have Everything filter set to everything.
System file not showing up even though it is there
Re: System file not showing up even though it is there
It should not be a hardlink, as far as I can tell.
So no reason to not expect it to be there.

Just for other people reading this:Using Win 10 64, Everything 1.4.1.935 (x64)
When you are you running a 32-bit version of Everything, then Everything will show the contents of the 32-bit version of System32 (c:\Windows\SysWOW64\ in Explorer).
See if a Force Rebuild helps:
- Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes
- Click the Force Rebuild button
- Click OK and wait until Everything is done re-scanning your disk(s).
Re: System file not showing up even though it is there
That worked I can see the file now, thanks. Am I supposed to rebuild the indexes from time to time?NotNull wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 4:04 pm Just for other people reading this:

Re: System file not showing up even though it is there
Everything doesn't track multiple hardlinks and msvcr100.dll is a hard linked file.
If you find Everything missing files, the best option is to try a force rebuild.

Re: System file not showing up even though it is there
Are you sure about that?msvcr100.dll is a hard linked file
I've not been able to determine that that is the case in XP, Win7 or 10?
Among other ways...
ListLinks - lists reparse points, symbolic links and hard links
Code: Select all
listlinks.exe e:\windows -s
listlinks.exe e:\windows -s > linksfound.txt
(Other ways:
fsutil, FSF, FindLinks, FINDDUPE, AllDup, ln, LSE, NTFSLinksView, find (Unix, not Win version) ...)
Re: System file not showing up even though it is there
msvcr100.dll is not a hard link.Are you sure about that?msvcr100.dll is a hard linked file
I was jumping to conclusions..
Basically it's a special type of file shortcut.What does a hard linked file mean?
Re: System file not showing up even though it is there
Probably not going to figure out the answer to that one.
Sometimes there are specific reasons for something not to turn up.
A hardlink potentially being one.
But with that particular file not being one, the immediate thought would be to do a Force Rebuild (which I did not mention in case others had ideas, & doing the Force Rebuild would have at that point negated their thoughts [in that the rebuild would have then "found" the file, so testing their ideas would then be moot]).
Sometimes changes can be missed, a Force Rebuild fixes it, & you go on.
As it is, I have files that are shown, that I know I no longer have, & because of the way I happened to have done certain actions, it happened. When I get around to it, I'll do a Force Rebuild & at that point they'll no longer show.

Re: System file not showing up even though it is there
Everything uses the USN Change Journal to keep its index up to date.
Sometimes the USN Change Journal can have entries using the wrong hard-link filename (this includes the short filename).
It's hard to say if that is what happened here.
I would need to see debug logs to be sure.
If you find Everything missing changes often, please consider enabling debug logging.
