By default, DiskSorter performs file classification using generic settings, which should be appropriate for most users. In addition, power computer users are provided with a number of configuration options allowing one to customize the file classification process for user specific needs and hardware configurations.

In order to customize the file classification process, open the profile dialog and select the 'Options' tab. The options tab allows one to control the default report title, the performance mode, the file scanning mode and the file scanning filter, which may be used to limit the file classification process to specific file types.
