IMHO the text to disable automatic update check on start-up
(second option) should be:

Close the program
Open GlobalOptions.xml in Notepad and look for the element CheckForUpdatesAutomatically
Change True to False and save
Launch TreeSizeFree.exe

The new version will scan network shares, cloud drives, and network attached storage. It's a great software - definitely one of my favorites!

A better natively portable app can be found here:

Looks like v3.0 is finally stealth. Did not create any "JAM Software" folder in %AppData%. I'm on win8.1 x64

@mrpink
Thanks. Entry updated.

On XP it creates an empty folder at
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\JAM Software\TreeSize Free
and ofcourse don't tick the "show in explorer menu" option

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

going to try it. Thanks!!

@ barry:
You are right. I changed the DB entry accordingly.

Does not support Win2k as listing says

Just a request : program dialog support Windows edge snap..thk you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Terrific program but recommend the also portable Foldersize:

... as it will also analyze network drives.

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?)

I love treesize, it's in my top 20 list of must haves.
