Missing files
Certain files under Windows Vista and Windows 7 are hard links.
"Everything" will not include hard links.
For example, on Windows 7 C:\windows\notepad.exe is a hard link to c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe
Only the original file c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe will show in "Everything".
Corrupt files and folders are automatically excluded by "Everything".
Please check your disk(s) for errors.
To check your disk(s) for errors:
- In My Computer, for each volume:
- Right click and select Properties.
- Click the Tools tab.
- Click Check now....
- Select Automatically fix file system errors.
- Click Start.
- If prompted to schedule the disk check the next time you restart the computer select Yes.
Try restoring ownership for the missing files.

Rebuilding the database
To force "Everything" to rebuild the database:
- Exit "Everything".
- Delete Everything.db in your "Everything" installation folder.
- Restart "Everything".
Recreate the USN Journal
To force the NTFS driver to rebuild the USN Journal:
- In "Everything", from the the Tools menu, click Options.
- Under the Volumes tab, for each volume, uncheck Enable USN Journal Logging.
- Click Apply.
- For each volume, check Enable USN Journal Logging.
- Click OK.
Error log
Additional error information is reported to the Errorlog.txt in the same folder as your Everything.exe
The Errorlog.txt may contain useful information about the last error Windows encountered.
A description of the error code from GetLastError can be found in the list of System Error Codes.
Unable to download
If you are using Zone alarm disable Mobile Code Control.
Privacy -> Mobile Code Control -> Off.
Unable to open c:\ from context menu
This problem is caused by CommandLineToArgvW converting the trailing \ into a "
To fix the problem:
- Click Start -> Run.
- Enter Regedit.
- Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Search Everything...\command
- Remove the trailing " from the (Default) value.
For example, if your (Default) value looks like:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\everything.exe" -filename "%1"
Change it to:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\everything.exe" -filename "%1
- Exit Regedit.
HTTP Server does not start
This is most commonly caused by another service using port 80.
Try to change the HTTP server port.
For example: to change the HTTP server port to 5485:
- In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Under the HTTP tab, change the HTTP Server Port to 5485 .
- Click OK.
To connect to this server:
- In your web browser, enter http://localhost:5485
- Change localhost to the server name for remote access.
