Unable to save settings

Post by void »

The error message:
Unable to save settings.

Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\\Everything?

Cause:
Everything was unable to save its settings to the same location as your Everything.exe.

This commonly happens if you uncheck Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything in the installer.

This will occur if you have Everything installed to C:\Program Files\Everything and run Everything as a standard user.
The standard user account does not have write permission to this folder.

Resolution:
Please enable Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything in Everything:
  • If prompted to Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\\Everything?, click Yes.
-or-
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Click OK.
