Everything Group Policy

Recently Group Policy ADM/ADMX administrative templates have been published (at least Everything 1.5 Alpha is needed)
More info:

Everything Group Policy
Everything Group Policy allows you to lock settings in Everything 1.5.

All settings can be locked.

Download ADM and ADMX administrative templates

It can also be done without templates (via Registry Editor):

Manual polices
To manually lock a setting without using the ADM/ADMX administrative templates:
Create the setting (using the ini setting name) under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\voidtools\Everything
Click to expand...

For example, to lock the Everything window to position 100,100:

• In the Windows Registry, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\voidtools\Everything
(create this key if it doesn't exist)
• Create the following DWORD value: window_x
• Set the value to: 100
• Create the following DWORD value: window_y
• Set the value to: 100

I Can’t Imagine Using Windows Without the Everything App
By Jason Fitzpatrick @jasonfitzpatric - December 8, 2022

There are very few apps I can’t imagine life without, but at the top of that short list is Everything. I’ve used it for over a decade, and it’s an integral part of my Windows experience.
Click to expand...

Everything sidesteps the shortcomings of the Windows file search by doing something that was novel when the application was first released and remains novel: it taps right into the file table at the file system level for lightning-fast search.

How fast is it? It’s so fast that if you create a new file, by the time you open up the Everything search box a moment later, the file is instantly in the index. It’s unlikely you could create the file and get to the search box fast enough to beat the nearly instantaneous addition of the entry into the Everything index.
Click to expand...

And Here’s Why I Find Everything Indispensable
I titled this piece “I Can’t Imagine Using Windows Without the Everything App,” and I say that without a bit of hyperbole. I’ve used Everything daily since it came out and across multiple versions of Windows—Windows XP all the way to Windows 11—multiple computer upgrades, and on every Windows machine I’ve owned.

No matter where the files are, I can find them if I remember even a fraction of the folder or file name. Old taxes, work forms, Photoshop projects, comic books I hoarded five years ago, you name it. If I want it, I can churn it up to the surface with a few keywords.
It instantly powered through 3,558,139 files and folders on my computer and the attached drives to find exactly what I wanted when I wanted it.

This is a meaningful statement - "and the attached drives"

Everything Toolbar 1.0 launches with Windows 11 support
By Martin Brinkmann - January 26, 2023

Everything Toolbar is a useful helper application for the Windows search tool Everything. It may be used to replace Windows Search on the taskbar of the operating system to make file searches on Windows a lot faster and reliable.
Click to expand...

Originally designed for Windows 10, Everything Toolbar has now been updated to version 1.0. Along with the update comes official support for Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system.

The main idea behind Everything Toolbar is to improve the accessibility of the Everything search tool. It is developed by a third-party and open source. Users place the icon on the Windows taskbar to get a search interface immediately when they activate the icon. The search returns results as fast as Everything does, and there are some filters at the top to limit results to files, folders, or specific file types.
Click to expand...

Everything Search can be downloaded from the official VoidTools website. Everything Toolbar is available on its GitHub repository.
Closing Words
Everything Search and Everything Toolbar improve file and folder searches on Windows significantly. Results are delivered faster and more reliable with Everything.
