Start Everything on system startup

Post by evilfantasy »

Hi. Sorry if this has been covered before. I did a quick forum search and didn't find anything specific.

I have the option to run Everything on system startup and it does run but the UAC prompt get's in the way of a proper startup. I tried using the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit to get around the UAC prompt (I have used it before with other software but not on Windows 8) but it does not seem to work for me or it doesn't work for computer startup and software UAC prompts. Maybe it only works for launching software from the desktop?

Is there a workaround or fix for Windows 8? For the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit workaround I followed this guide.

Thanks.

I'm still getting the UAC on startup.

Everything-1.3.2.649b

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Everything] "C:\Program Files (x86)\Everything\Everything.exe" -startup
O23 - Service: Everything - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files (x86)\Everything\Everything.exe

Please make sure run as administrator is disabled.

To disable run as administrator:
  • Right click an Everything shortcut:
  • Click Properties
  • Click the Compatibility tab.
  • Uncheck Run this program as an administrator.
