How to reset Everything and re-scan all my hard drives. I would like to save the old database though, rename and maybe call it up in the future.

• Completely exit Everything:
  Right-click the Everything icon in the system tray and choose Exit
• Copy Everything.db to a save place.
  This file is in the folder where Everything.exe is OR in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything.
• Start Everything
• Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes
• Click the Force Rebuild button
• Done!

Note: You can also delete Everything.db (after copying it, of course). This will force Everything to rebuild it's database too.


If you want to view the "old database": everything.exe -readonly "d:\backup\everything.db"
(replace d:\backup with the actual path)
