Directly beneath the menu bar you'll find three toolbars showing icons for fast access to frequently used functions. Every single toolbar may be turned on or off in the context menu (right-click on the toolbar).
Toolbar "Scan"
![]()
The first toolbar "Scan" includes on the left side a pull down box with drives. Here you can determine which drive should be scanned. TreeSize Professional saves those paths that were last used in the pull down box for faster access. You can also enter a path directly and press the "Enter" key to start the scan. It is possible to use environment variables like %TEMP% and wildcards like '*' here.
Next to this box you'll find various icons for scanning of folders and drives.
