πŸ“¦ Installation

Prerequisites

βš™οΈ Setup

Launcher (Taskbar Icon)

Recommended for unmodified Windows 11 installations

After installation on Windows 11, the setup assistant will guide you through the configuration process.

> If the setup assistant doesn't start automatically, search for EverythingToolbar in the Windows Start menu.

> For Windows 10 users who prefer the search icon (not recommended), search for EverythingToolbar.Launcher.exe, start it manually and follow the setup process.

Deskband

Recommended for Windows 10 or when using ExplorerPatcher / StartAllBack

After installation on Windows 10:

  1. Right-click the taskbar and select EverythingToolbar from the Toolbars context menu > You may need to open the context menu twice for EverythingToolbar to appear
  2. Unlock the taskbar to adjust size and position (demonstration video)

> Windows 11 users: The search icon setup assistant starts automatically after installation. To use the deskband instead (only recommended with ExplorerPatcher/StartAllBack), close the assistant and end EverythingToolbar's background process via the system tray.
