Hello ---- I have shares on mu NAS (network drive) mapped, and I select the option to list mapped network drives, but they are not showing up ---- what did i miss here?

Drive mappings are user related.
Map the drive with the same account, Everything client runs.

Everything will be unable to see your mapped network drives if you run Everything as an administrator.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Please make sure Everything is running as a standard user:

• Right click your Everything.exe or a shortcut to Everything
• Click Properties.
• Click the Compatibility tab.
• Uncheck Run this program as an administrator.
• Click OK.

I am running the portable version --- does that make a difference?

[void]

No, the installed Everything.exe is the same as the portable version.
The installer simply enables Tools -> Options -> General -> Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.

Leave Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything disabled if you prefer.

Are you running Everything as admin?

[fpefpe]

yes I am running as an admin --- I sort of got around the issue but building a "file list" of the network shares ---- when I add the filelist it prompted me for the network password and it load the list --- I look at doing with a non-admin session thanks

If you wish to run Everything as administrator, please consider indexing \\server\share instead of the mapped network drive.

-or-

Also map your network drive as administrator.
From an admin command prompt, run:

NET USE J: \\server\share /persistent:Yes

(where J: is the mapped network drive and \\server\share is the network share)
