I just installed Everything on a Windows 11 computer. With all previous versions of Windows, for as long as I've been using Everything, I could right click on a folder, and the context menu that popped up gave me the option to search just that folder (including subfolders) with Everything. But in Windows 11 there's no menu item for Everything.
Is this a problem with Windows 11, or a change in Everything, or an indication of some malfunction? In short, is there a way to get back that context menu item?
Thanks.
No context menu item to search a specific folder
Re: No context menu item to search a specific folder
To show the Search Everything folder context menu item:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the General tab on the left.
- Check Show Search Everything folder context menu item.
- Click OK.
Re: No context menu item to search a specific folder
Well, that was embarrassing.
I misled myself by looking at the wrong "context menu" entry. Please see the attachment, showing that although I had looked in Options, after I'd clicked the General tab I continued down down the left side to Context Menu, instead of staying up at the top with General, and looking over to the right. Oh well.
Thank very much for the help, including responding so quickly.
