After exiting Everything I cannot remove Everything64.exe. A message appears, saying something like, cannot be closed because it is open in Everything:
This issue can occur if the Everything Service is running or the Everything UI process is still running.
Please try exiting Everything and uninstalling the Everything Service:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the General tab on the left.
- Uncheck Everything Service.
- Click OK.
- In Everything, from the File menu, click Exit.
- Delete your Everything.exe
Do I have to close the Everything service in the Task Manager?
Yes, just stopping the Service is fine.
1319a and earlier will require administrative privileges to stop the Everything Service.
1320a+ will allow any user to stop the Everything Service.
If you are deleting the Everything.exe it will be better to uninstall the Everything Service.
Otherwise, Windows will try to start this service on next startup and the exe will not exist.
Does that property just get the information from the dive (or from wherever) or does it have to index each single file?
The Everything Service simply allows the Everything search client to index and monitor your NTFS volumes.
The Everything service is stateless and uses no notice RAM or CPU.
It is the Everything search client that does all the work maintaining your index.
Should I exclude files / folders or set anything else here(?):
To index the "Used Disk Size" property, I recommend setting the following options:
- Check Include folders.
- Uncheck Include files.
- Leave include only folders blank.
- Set Exclude folders to: **\**
(this will index the "Used Disk Size" property for root folders only)
- Uncheck Exclude not content indexed.
- Optionally check or uncheck fast sort.
Should I remove Size on Disk (to be replaced with Used Disk Size):
Yes.
I added some columns:
But they are not values shown:
These properties are only indexed for your root folders.
Please include the following in your search:
