For some reason, everything is losing the settings I make, for example, to open the folder by double-clicking.
I've had to redo these settings several times.
What could be wrong?
Losing settings multiple times
Re: Losing settings multiple times
Please make sure Everything is installed correctly:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the General tab on the left.
- Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything (important)
- Uncheck Run as administrator.
- Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
- Click OK.
- Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
- Restart Everything.

Thanks for your response.
All items you mentioned are ok.
I uninstalled it completely, cleaned the windows registry, and reinstalled it.
I'll wait now to see what happens.

Re: Losing settings multiple times
Please check for any other installations of Everything that might be interfering with your normal installation.
Some third party tools bundle Everything.exe which interfere with your normal installation.
Are there any other Everything.exe files on your computer?
If you are using the x64 version of Everything, please try uninstalling the x86 version of Everything.
If the x86 version was installed, please reinstall the x64 version.

None of the conditions you mentioned above ...
But: uninstalling, cleaning the registry, and reinstalling, after a day, nothing has been lost yet.

Re: Losing settings multiple times
Sorry, but today the problem happened again...
Where are these settings stored?

Re: Losing settings multiple times
Settings are stored in two files.
The first is the Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe
Please make sure this Everything.ini contains the following line:
app_data=1
This will redirect Everything to load your settings from Everything.ini in %APPDATA%\Everything
