How to make Everything works in limited user?

[zakwithu]

hi voidtools - the owner of Everything search engine

thank you very much for this amazing tool. i started depending totally on it since long time. it really replaced any searching engine i ever know even google desktop. thanks again for this invention.

Question:
i have admin previleges and Everything-search working fine with no issue.
For other limited users using the same machine it is not working fine i got msg: unable to open volume \\.\C:
i explored your FAQ and this forum and i knew it requires some administrator rights.
i need to know what exact permission required to allow normal users to use this tool. i know it is USN Journal logging, but where to give this permission.


i hope to got my words.
thanks in advance

Hi Voidtools developper,

I am having similar problems with Everything.

As Admin: all perfect.

For my normal permissions users... no results can be displayed in the Everything window (stays blank).
- I am on a Windows Server 2008 R2 configured as a Remote Desktop Server. Version is .452a
- I created a scheduled task for any log on .. with highest permissions... Task starts. No results can be displayed in Everything window.
- When I go to options, volumes... it never stores the selections for drives. When I click apply, a brief error message appears at bottom left of Everything.. but too fast to read. Clearly something around permissions to USN journal.
- in Debug mode I get:
==========================================================

- I tried running as service.. all starts OK, DB gets created with SYSTEM in name... ETP logs, status bar tells me there are 180,000 items.. but Everything crashes with following info as soon as I click in the principal window.
- problem exists regarless as admin or not. It could be a different problem altogether as above..
- Stopped all firewall

I have the same problem. I've tried removing and reinstalling and I've tried giving non-admins Full rights to the everything folder and the files withing.

Nothinbg helps. On all systems, non-admins cannot run Everything Search.


It's pretty poor practice to have to run as an admin on the system just to run this app. Surely there must be a fix?
