Sys 32 folders

1.I am sure there should be some valid reason as to why Everything lists exe files in Windows>>System32 folder ONLY in winsxs. Sometimes It makes one wonder if such a file is regular and needed. Can the sys32 link also be given.

These are hard links.

Unfortunately, Everything will only index the first instance of a hard link.

Use the following command line option to test for more than one instance of a hard link:

Code: Select all

fsutil hardlink list filename

If you really need to index ALL files and folders in C:\Windows, please try folder indexing.

Yes fsutil works.Thank you. Since the linkup is instantaneous , would it be possible on a column with title hardlink count and the file in a different color if indeed there are hardlinks. Does the objects result of everything , with no filters excludes that much amount of hardlinks?

[void]

I will consider a hard link count column, thanks for the suggestion.

I would like something like the NTFS Hardlink option in UltraSearch (JAM Software) if possible!

Just what is this "hardlink option" that UltraSearch provides?
