I love TreeSize too and use it all the time. However, with the 2.0 release seems to be much slower than my previous version (1.78). (i.e. takes about 5 times as long to scan a directory as compared to the old version.) I notice there is a new "Filter" option so maybe this is why.
Even more interesting... Scanning the same tree a second time (even after restarting the program) is MUCH quicker, so I wonder if something is being cached somewhere (i.e. in the registry perhaps?)
Terrific program but recommend the also portable Foldersize:

... as it will also analyze network drives.
It's not bad, but I find that WinDirStat is much more useful:

The graphical display makes it much easier to identify files and folders which could be removed or compressed to reduce the size of a package. For example, using WinDirStat and UPX, I've gotten my portable OpenOffice installation down to 106 megabytes.
Very fast application. However, since I have a lot of my files on a personal Buffalo Drive 600GB drive networked attached storage and this won't read network drives it's not much use to me.
I have SnoopFree running on my machine and after I started running this it constantly popped up telling me that some program was trying to read my screen - I assume it was this one. It was VERY persistent even after I told SnoopFree to block the screen read.
ZIP Ver.2.5.0.145.
Extract..run..switch context menu to "ON" and exit.
Scan a folder from Explorer..then turn "OFF" context menu.
Now look at your "user\AppData" folder..oh..seems not Portable.
Just a request : program dialog support Windows edge snap..thk you.
Does not support Win2k as listing says

After using this software I found a file "GlobalOptions.xml" in the user profile folder. It's not stealth.

On XP it creates an empty folder at
