When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The software installer includes 24 files and is usually about 114.54 MB (120,104,479 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows XP.
