Can I avoid killing the Everything Service every time I...?

[spooky]

I use the portable version of Everything 1.5, and since I'm a nerd for this software I like to download every new alpha version released, even if it's 3 or 4 per month. The thing is, every time I want to replace the old .exe file with the newest one, a Windows' dialog tells me that everything is running in the background, I have to then open to the Task Manager and kill the everything background service to continue. Another occasion where I have to kill the service is when I have to remove a pendrive because Everything is indexing the whole thing (and I love this feature I don't want to deactivate it), I don't mind closing the program for Windows to let me remove the pendrive safely, but going to the Task Manager and doing the whole 'End Task' again gets a little tedious. Is there a way to avoid this Task Manager procedure? I know I can run it as an administrator instead of installing the service the first time I run the .exe but that's not an option due to a particular situation with my computer that is not relevant here.

To stop the Everything Service on exit:

• Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
• Open your Everything-1.5a.ini in the same location as your Everything64.exe
• Change the following line:
  stop_service_on_exit=0
  to:
  stop_service_on_exit=1
• Save changes and restart Everything.

Everything will now stop the Everything Service on exit.
The Service is restarted when you restart Everything.

Excellent, thank you!

Explain that?
Everything is indexing Properties on the drive - which may be timely, depending.
And you're wanting to remove the drive, yet this indexing (of Properties) is still ongoing?

If not something like that, then... ?

To my knowledge, the service is not indexing anything.
The client is doing the index.
So if you stop the client, there should be no blocking of ejecting a drive.
