Re: What does square in the check box near "Start Everything on system startup" mean?
Most of the settings in the General page in the Everything options use 3 state checkboxes.
These check boxes can be either:
1) checked (ticked)
2) unchecked (empty)
3) indeterminate (square ticked)
Indeterminate in Everything means that the setting is not completely installed or not completely uninstalled (ie: partially installed).
With "Start Everything on system startup" a square check (indeterminate) means that Everything will start on system startup, but it might not be the Everything that you are currently running that will start on system startup (it is most likely another version in another location).
You can either uninstall the option to completely remove all versions of Everything from starting on system startup or check the option to reinstall the current version of Everything to run on system startup.
Leaving the check box square checked will not change the setting (ie: the option will not be re-installed or uninstalled).
Only one Everything can start on system startup using the "Start Everything on system startup" setting (even when using multiple instances).

Thank you very much.
My two Everythings are in different locations, for one of them I have a (is there a better way than creating a) link (such a "Named instance", I mean) to start it in a mode "multiple instances". The link contains:
"C:\Programme\Everything\Everything.exe" -instance "Film- und Serienlisten"
Many thanks again

I could imagine, one of the 2 portable Everythings I can automatically start by checking that check box (like it is done) and the other one by manually adding the link of the other Everything to the autostart, might that work?Only one Everything can start on system startup using the "Start Everything on system startup" setting (even when using multiple instances).

Yes, you will need to start other instances manually.
One way to do this would be to create a shortcut to your Everything instance in shell:startup

Sorry, where do I have to enter that?

There is StartUp folder where you can put links of apps, for autostart in windows startup.
You can get this folder easily by pressing the Win key, and type in SearchBox:
shell:startup

Most programmers wouldn't have thought about these "little" things.
