Try it! Search the partition that has your Windows installation on it (mine is 8.1). Here's what I see. I do not see ES does not show c:\windows\explorer.exe

My es.exe is dated 27/07/2014. Everything Version 1.4.0.719b (x64).

\windows\explorer.exe is a hard link to a place in \windows\winsxs\ hierarchy.

Suspect you're using an older Everything.
Update to the current Beta & see if you then don't see Everything & explorer.exe (twice, at least).
