Renaming multpile files in protected location

Post by ericgl »

Hi David,

I'm using Win10/Win11 x64 en-US, and Everything v1.5.0.1340a.

I've noticed that when I select several files in a protected location (for example in C:\Program Files\) and press F2 to rename them using Everything's rename dialog, Everything will give an error (ERROR 5 Access Denied).

Renaming a single file in a protected location works normally. An elevation prompt comes up and I press Continue and then Yes to allow the rename.

Thank you for the issue report ericgl,

This limitation is currently by design.

I have put on my TODO list to request elevation when required.
