Not able to 'Explore'

[rshea]

Hi - I've got similar problems to a previous thread

Code: Select all

'http://forum.voidtools.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=552&p=1551&hilit=file+explorer#p1551'.

When I try to explore the folder of a file which Everything has found nothing happens.

I'm running 1.2.1.371 on Vista. I run as a non-administrative user but whenever I start Everything I get prompted to supply an Admin password.

Just wondered if anyone had any ideas what's going on to cause this problem ?

My .ini entry looks like this :

Code: Select all

explore_folder_path_command=$exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,/select,"%1")

I don't have an errolog.txt file in the install directory.

My debug info looks like this :

Code: Select all

That is normal. Everything needs Admin privileges.

If you were to try the latest alpha, does the problem persist?

When I try to explore the folder of a file

Does this happen for all folders or only certain ones?

Are you able to successfully explore the same folder with Windows Explorer?

Are you running x86 or x64?

Do you get any error message or just nothing happens?

Is your User account set up as an Administrator or Limited/Standard (or whatever Vista calls it)?

From what I can see "Everything" is actually executing Windows Explorer...
I am looking into why Windows Explorer closes almost immediately (might have something to do with limited privileges)

Try clearing the Explorer parameters by adding the following line to the end of your Everything.ini file:

Code: Select all

explore_folder_path_command=$exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" "%1")

I have the same problem on my Vista 32-bit system. The system used to work, but it stopped working a while ago (no version info during the change of functionality, but running current version 1.2.1.371 now)

My debug output ends with:
idCommand 30003
ui_t::CETFolder::Release 1
CETFolder::~CETFolder

I've added the line
"explore_folder_path_command=$exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" "%1")"
to my .ini file, but it made no difference.

Is there a next step in the process for me to try?

I uninstalled 1.2.1.371 and installed 1.3.3.658b and things started working again!
