WizTree

Version: 4.18

Hives: HKCU, HKLM

WizTree is a fast disk space analyzer that reads the NTFS MFT (Master File Table) directly, making it significantly faster than traditional scanners. It shows which files and folders are using the most disk space.

📝 Notes

  • WizTree reads the NTFS MFT directly and requires administrator privileges for full-disk scans.
  • Portable mode writes to HKCU regardless; no HKLM uninstall entry is created.
  • A 64-bit WizTree64.exe is included alongside the 32-bit executable — both share the same registry key.
  • WizTree does not register file associations or install system services.
