Moved from es: URL Protocol



To open es: URLs in a new window:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the UI tab on the left.
  • Check Create a new window when running Everything.
  • Click OK.

-or-


To open es: URLs in a new window:
  • From the Start menu, search for:
    regedit
  • Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
  • Navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ES\shell\open\command
  • Change the (Default) value data to:
    "C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -url "%1" -new-window
    (where C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe is the location of your Everything.exe)
-url
-new-window

Good workaround, though imo it's Better to be able to set it by query str. "?newwindow=1".

Nice! Don't want to touch the registry :( , which will always revert my changes to default per new version of everything installed...
