duplicated entries galore

[jaseinatl]

I have indexed all of my drives (about 8 of them) and rely on Everything for all my search needs.
Recently something happened and I lost my database so I set it up to scan my drives again.
After hours of scanning, I notice that every file is listed twice in the database. Is there any fix for this without having to rescan my drives?

NTFS volumes are automatically indexed by "Everything".

Adding a NTFS volume as a folder index will show duplicated results.

Please remove any NTFS volumes from your folder indexes:

• In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab.
• Select any NTFS volumes and click Remove.
• Click OK.

To check which NTFS volumes are automatically included:

• In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab.
• NTFS volumes that have Include in database checked are already included as a NTFS index.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• 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.

Great, thanks for the information.

I usually run Everything as a service with Admin privileges. Is that a bad thing? Why as a standard user? Thanks for getting back to me so quick.

Anything you open from Everything will also run as administrator.

Please run Everything as a standard user.
