When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The primary executable is named ACDSee6.exe. The setup package generally installs about 121 files and is usually about 6.16 MB (6,455,628 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows XP. While about 25% of users of ACDSee PowerPack come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Israel.
