Drives not detected by Everything

[firefirehelphelp]

Hi everyone,

For some reason some of my drives cannot be detected by Everything. Have attached a screenshot. May I know why this is so?



There are supposed to be two more drives appearing under This PC and one more drive appearing under Network. But for some reason they do not show up in the Everything (tools --> options --> folders --> add )

Thank you.

If you run Everything as administrator you will not see mapped network drives mounted from a standard user.

Please try running Everything as a standard user and install the Everything service:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab.
• Check Everything Service
• Uncheck run as administrator.
• Click OK.
• Restart Everything.

Hi Void,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am now able to see Y: and Z:.

However, I am still unable to locate \\dataservssdasie.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com

Currently it looks like this:


Thank you.

Is the mapped network drive listed under a net use call?

From a command prompt, run:
net use

Hi there,

Not sure what a net use is. Have ran the function and attached a screen shot. Thank you.

Thanks for the screenshot.

Looks as I expected when run as a normal user, so Everything should be seeing it...

What is shown in the Everything debug console when you press Ctrl + `

Hi Void,

Have attached the file extracted. Please have a look. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17604288/debug.txt

Thank you.

Thanks for the debug output.

The \\dataservs... share doesn't not have a local drive mapping, can you enter this server in manually?

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab.
• Click Add....
• Manually type in \\dataservs... and click OK.

Hi there,

That doesn't seem to work. After typing \\dataservssdasie.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com and clicking okay. Nothing new shows up in the folder tab.

Thank you.

Please try adding this share manually:

• Completely exit Everything (Right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
• Change the following line:
  folders="Y:","Z:"
  to:
  folders="Y:","Z:","\\dataservssdasie.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com"
• Your folders= may look slightly different, just add to the end of it with ,"\\server\share"
• Save changes and restart Everything.

Hi there, I tried it out and it now shows "\\dataservssdasie.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com" in the folder view. However, it still doesn't search for items within it. Tried hitting the update everything view but somehow it doesn't work still. Attached are some screenshots and the ini file.

Thanks and have a great weekend.

Please try adding an extra double backslash:

• Change the following line:
  folders="Z:\\","\\dataservssdasie.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com"
  to:
  folders="Z:\\","\\\\dataservssdasie.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com"

Hi there,

I have tried that but it still doesn't update the drive. Have attached the screenshot and ini file.

I'm thinking this is a limitation with Everything, are you able to map this network share to a drive letter?

Sorry for the late reply. May I know how to go about this?

Thank you.

Is "cloudapp.azure.com" a "virtualized" place & if so, wonder if that plays into it?
Or is it expected that it uses known system calls, making the virtualization immaterial?

Thanks for the reply. I am not too sure about that would have to check with my IT support desk. Would check out the links later.
