In most cases, the Windows shell extension is a very useful feature, but sometimes, when the user have too many installed shell extensions, the Windows context menu may become too cluttered. In order to remove the DiskSavvy entry from the Windows context menu, open the options dialog, select the 'General' tab and disable the Windows shell extension.
