Remove entries for portable version from Explorer's context menu

Question / Problem

After using the portable version of TreeSize Free, the Explorer's context menu includes entries to scan folders and drives with TreeSize Free.

Why is there any reason for context menu entries with a portable app and how can I remove these entries?

Answer / Solution

The option to integrate with the Explorer's context menu is deactivated for the portable version and TreeSize Free would thus not create any entry.

If you want to use a portable version of TreeSize Free and still create context menu entries, you may create an empty file "unins000.dat" inside the folder where the TreeSize Free portable exe is located. Afterwards the option can be activated in TreeSize Free.

Please be aware that the context menu entries created this way are not being updated or removed if the program folder changes. Such context menu entries may thus become orphaned and should be removed beforehand.

The easiest way to remove the entries again is to deactivate the option on the 'Options' tab.
