Frequently asked questions

• Using EboBar
• Can I get the search window any faster?
• This transparent window is ugly. I can hardly read anything in there.
• This EboBar thing window is too small! The entries get clipped. There's too few entries!
• The text I enter vanishes after a short time!!
• Can I add single files rather than entire directories?
• This program didn't find a certain document although it is obviously there!!
• I've added new programs. EboBar doesn't recognize these files. How can I tell EboBar to add them?
• The HIDE function does not work! I chose "Hide" for a certain file but it's still there!
• Why is the configuration window suddenly transparent when another dialog pops up on top of it? (not on older Windows versions)
• Using a scan definition, I specifically told EboBar NOT to add files that contain a certain pattern. EboBar still added some!
• Sometimes the icon in the tray bar is crossed out and the hotkey doesn't work. I didn't do anything! This is spooky!
• Why does EboBar look a lot cooler on your screenshots than on my computer?
• This program sucks.
• This program doesn't work! Instead of writing a bug report, I'll simply delete it from my hard disk, write a bad review on all shareware directories I know and forget about it.
• Multi-user environment
• Are the settings per-user or global?
• Can I make EboBar automatically run during startup for some users only?
• Why should only the administrator uninstall the program? (NT/2000/XP)
