Does "lite" install to the same location?

Post by quuzuu »

It's been a year since I updated my installation of Everything, so I'm planning to re-run the latest installer.

I previously used the normal version, now I consider switching to the lite version. I have a few questions about the switch:

1. I have set to "store my settings and data in %AppData%\Everything". Will LITE inherit these settings?
2. Should I uninstall first?
3. If I uninstall first, will these settings be deleted?

Thanks!

To backup your settings:
  • Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
  • In Windows Explorer, type in the following address and press ENTER:
    %APPDATA%\Everything
    (this will expand to: C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Everything)
  • Copy this folder to your backup location.



To restore your settings:
  • Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
  • In Windows Explorer, type in the following address and press ENTER:
    %APPDATA%\Everything
    (this will expand to: C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Everything)
  • Restore files from your backup location to this folder.
  • Restart Everything.
