How to open Everything to a specific dir

Post by JFrankParnell »

Say I search within a certain dir, often. C:\foo\bar\blarg
Can I set a keyboard shortcut to open Everything, with this path preselected? In other words, the same as navigating to the parent of that flolder, right click \blarg > Search Everything...

I have already a global shortcut to open Everything with no path specified. I'd like another one, to open Everything to this special path.

thanks,
J

I would make a bookmark and assign a hotkey to it.

Please try creating a shortcut to Everything on the desktop or start menu.

Please try the following shortcut target:

"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -path "C:\foo\bar\blarg"

-path



Set a keyboard shortcut in the shortcut file:
  • Right click your Shortcut and click Properties.
  • Click the Shortcut tab.
  • To the right of Shortcut key, press your shortcut key.
  • Click OK.
Note: the shortcut file must be on the desktop or in the start menu for the shortcut key to work correctly.
