I had Everything before TC, I've set multiple instances with separate indexing databases.
What parameter do I use in wincmd.ini to specify which config/indexing database I want to use?
I only one everything parameter which is the path of the exe.
Thanks.

From the help about Wincmd.ini entries
UseEverythingInstance= Support named "Everything" instances: Started via Everything.exe -instance "somename"
UseEverythingInstance= Support named "Everything" instances: Started via Everything.exe -instance "somename"

I deserved this RTFM. I should have look harder before asking.
Excellent! Thank you.Horst.Epp wrote: 2026-04-08, 13:17 UTC UseEverythingInstance= Support named "Everything" instances: Started via Everything.exe -instance "somename"
I've created an instance specifically for my TC needs.
UseEverythingInstance Works like a charm!

Works like a charm as long as the instance is already running as a service.cmd4ever wrote: 2026-04-08, 17:03 UTCExcellent! Thank you.Horst.Epp wrote: 2026-04-08, 13:17 UTC UseEverythingInstance= Support named "Everything" instances: Started via Everything.exe -instance "somename"

That statement is not entirely accurate. (You can't just leave that statement as is.)cmd4ever wrote: 2026-05-08, 00:36 UTCWorks like a charm as long as the instance is already running as a service.cmd4ever wrote: 2026-04-08, 17:03 UTCExcellent!

Total Commander and Everything can also be launched as an administrator.
UseEverythingInstance and Everything options - Examples
Total Commander and Everything 1.5a can be run as a user, and
only the indexing process for Everything 1.5a can be run as an administrator.

For the sake of completeness:
Examples of when Total Commander and Everything 1.4 are used as the user can be found here:
