How can I skip the confirmation dialog box in Windows 8

Post by whugemann »

Everytime I start Everything 1.2.1.371 on my Windows 8 x64 computer, the system asks me whether I would like to allow this software to make changes to my system settings. (It asks me in German, so I am not quite sure what the exact question is in English.) The link in the start menu (Classic Shell) tells Windows to run Everything as an administrator.

I could of course change Windows' general settings to "never ask me", but this would also allow other, non-trusted software to apply such changes.

So how can I grant this privileg just to Everything?

Or should I rather install the 64 bit beta version?

Use the Everything Service.
(Options | General | Everything Service)
Then tell the shortcut to not use Admin level privileges.
