Desktop shortcut to Bookmarks?

Post by seansiler »

I have several Bookmarks set up in Everything. I'd like to be able to create a shortcut on my Windows desktop that points to a particular bookmark so that it automatically opens Everything with that bookmark applied, then another shortcut that opens to a different bookmark. Is that possible?

Thanks all!

Sure, create shortcuts on your desktop to

Code: Select all

"c:\path to\everything.exe"   -bookmark "Your First Bookmark"
and

Code: Select all

"c:\path to\everything.exe"   -bookmark "Your Second Bookmark"
( replace "c:\path to\everything.exe" with the actual path on your system )


If you want to open each shortcut in a separate Everything window, add -newwindow to the shortcut command, like:

Code: Select all

"c:\path to\everything.exe"   -newwindow   -bookmark "Your Second Bookmark"
