Window Class

[gggirlgeek]

What is the Window Class for Everything's open window?

I am using a portable program called eXpresso to temporarily modify file type associations on any Windows machine. By default it monitors Explorer but can monitor any other window using an ahk_class. In setup it detects the class by clicking the window's title bar, or by manually entering the class. When I click on Everything's titlebar no class is detected. So I need to enter it's Window Class manually.

eXpresso is successfully changing my file type associations from Explorer but not when a file is launched from Everything.

Win+Shift+Clicking Titlebar only opens the Start Menu. Simple click is not detected either.

Thanks in advance.

The window class for an Everything search window is:

Code: Select all

EVERYTHING

However, if you are using an instance name the window class is:

Code: Select all

EVERYTHING_(Instance name)

Thanks for the reply. I am indeed using multiple instances. However it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe it's because the current search pattern shows in the titlebar? For example my titlebar says: .mp3 - Everything (New)

FYI, I have tried:
Everything_(New)
Everything (New)
EVERYTHING_(New)
EVERYTHING (New)
EVERYTHING_New
.mp3 - Everything_(New)
.mp3 - Everything (New)

I've also tried restarting both eXpresso and Everything. Everything is running as a service. eXpresso is running as Admin. I'm currently on Win10x64. Unfortunately the author of eXpresso seems long gone, so no help there.

This should be correct Everything search window class name.

Perhaps it is a permissions issue, please try running Everything as admin or expresso as non-admin and see if it works?
