It sounds as if you're not running Everything at startup. Go into Everything's options and select "Run Everything at startup" in the General tab. You should also make sure that "Run as Administrator" is NOT selected to avoid getting a UAC prompt every time you log in. -- Howard

The /P option of DEDUPE seems to be generating too many propts. Under X86 Windows 7, I create files test1.txt, test2.txt and test3.txt with identical contents. I issue DEDUPE /d /p and have to respond to four prompts rather than the expected two to delete test2 and test3: C:\...\work>ver TCC...

One way would be to define an alias that points to DryDel.btm: ALIAS DRYDEL=`*<drydel's location>\DRYDEL.BTM` -- Howard

Actually, if there is no Prompt environment variable the default string is [$p$g] The brackets are part of the string and the p must be lowercase. An uppercase P would display the entire path in uppercase. -- Howard

Yes. At least that's what works for me.

Thanks. I got it working now. The trick was to uncheck "Run as administrator" in the options. I also checked the "run at startup" option and it's working exactly as I want now. -- Howard

Right. I deleted all the Everything files and most definitely Everything.ini after the uninstall. After installing again there was a new Everything.ini in the TCMD19 program directory and it was a little smaller than the one I had deleted. The only way I could get Everything started was to...

I have already tried reinstalling, and I definitely chose the "service" option for Everything during the install. All the Everything files ended up in TCMD's program directory, "program files\jpsoft\tcmd19". I will play with it some more. Thanks.

I just installed TCMD 19.2.38 for the first time on a 32-bit Windows 7 machine and I'm having trouble getting Everything searches to work right. When I did the install I chose the option for Everything service. My understanding was that this should allow me to do things like Everything /o and /E...

I don't know enough about what you're doing to understand what's wrong with that but it's obvious that you do since the new version you posted last night works great. Thanks!

The following, ekey /c alt-a=echo # works fine in EKEYS v0.40.1 but fails miserably in v0.48.0. If I type c:\test> this is a test and then pres alt-a I get C:\test>this is a tesTCC: (Sys) Recursion too deep; the stack overflowed. "key" If I do it again I get C:\test>this is a testTCC: (Sys)...

I am having trouble getting the very latest version of the ISO8601 plugin. On the plugins page at prospero.unm.edu I see that the latest version is 1.4.1 from May 21 but when I download the file I get 1.4.0 from 4/25. I've cleared my browser cache and even tried downloading on another machine...

$w instead of $p in your prompt string ...

Actually, the %511 doesn't require its own command. It will have the desired effect as long as it's referenced anywhere in the alias. Using your example, "foo %1 %+ erase bar%511" would work unless you accidentally put 510 extra parameters on the command line.

How about the INPUT command with the /W switch? -- Howard
