To open EFU files in a new window:
  • From the Start menu, search for:
    regedit
  • Right click the Registry Editor and click Run as an administrator.
  • In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Everything.FileList\shell\open\command
  • Change the (Default) value data from:
    "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -filelist "%1"
    to:
    "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -filelist "%1" -newwindow

So I cannot do it with EverythingFileAssociations.ini?

What is EverythingFileAssociations.ini?

The Everything.ini does not manage opening EFU files.
This is managed by the system via the registry.
