downloads window opens automatically after every download

Post by drool1976 »

The display the progress window on the top menu bar opens every download made. This is quite irritating and it only started recently. It requires going up and closing it each time.

  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).

And why do you complain in the Everything forum ?
Change your settings in Firefox and there is no automatic open after a download.
