Solved TreeSize Free (Portable) adds itself to Start All Apps


Just now seeing this on both platforms where a Start Menu entry is being added with the V.4.7.3.550 of TreeSize Free Portable.

One work around is to go to the TreeSizeFree.exe shortcut in:

C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

and set it's attribute to hidden.

Just a note to thank you for pointing me to WizTree. It works, and in a couple of ways, better than TreeSize. And it plays the game the way a portable ought to play. No registry, no ProgramData, no AppData, and no context menu additions. Win, win, win. 🙏

@trevo I echo @Wisewiz grievances above about TreeSize Free I didn't care about the Context Menu entries but to end up with 3 different shortcuts is a bit much.
