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 dopus.exe. The setup package generally installs about 15 files and is usually about 74.85 MB (78,480,705 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10.
