**   This collection was put together mostly for personal use. The main goal was to have most programs as a single          **
**  executable with a nice icon and compressed to save on precious space. Some were Thinapp'd (TA), some are                **
**  PortableApps.com format (PAL), some were made into RarSFX, some are stand-alone executables. I am not a huge Thinapp    **
**  fan, so most of them were made that way so they would retain registration.                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**   Rarsfx are mostly rared installations or stand-alones with docs or the like. All SFXs auto-execute the main program    **
**  executable after decompressing to your temp folder and all files should get removed after terminating the application,  **
**  but some refuse to do so, so it's always a good idea to check your '\Local Settings\Temp' directory. Also, many of them **
**  love to make folders under '\%user%\Application Data' and write to the registry. When in doubt (or when being raised    **
**  paranoid like me), use tools to watch registry and filesystem changes. There's tools for that in this compilation.      **
**  If you want to change the settings of an SFX, you can extract, run, configure and recompress. Most have the icon used   **
**  inside the archive itself. Or you  can simply extract them to your machine if you plan on using them often.             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**   Thinapp will always create a folder with the app's settings and virtual registry. This is called a sandbox. When I     **
**  feel it's important or necessary, it will be created in the same folder as the executable. If you don't care about it,  **
**  or you want to go back to the original configuration, you can delete this sandbox. You can also try to delete it if an  **
**  app loses it's registration and goes into trial mode. If it's an app whose configuration I feel doesn't matter, it will **
**  be created in '\%user%\Application Data\Thinstall\%appname%' and it will be emptied upon termination. However, Thinapp  **
**  just doesn't offer an option to remove the folder, so if you really don't want to leave stuff around, keep an eye on    **
**  that location too. My TA apps don't have the VMWare banner ;)                                                           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**   PortableApps.com format is nice because it will write necessary file/folders and registry entries and move them back   **
**  after terminating. It's open so you can hack and edit to your heart's content and you can always run it directly if you **
**  don't need it to be portable (App\AppName). The ones  made have no splash screen, and the ones I downloaded had it      **
**  disabled, unless the loading time is too long, then it shows the app logo. Lastly, all PAL apps were also SFX'd, so,    **
**  extract if you want your settings to stick, or save on decompressing time.                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**   Lastly, this is still mostly in the experimental stage. Most apps were tested on a clean virtual box running Windows   **
**  XP 32-bit SP3. No .net or VB/C runtimes installed to make sure apps don't have dependencies and run on a fresh install. **
**  But this is all mostly theoretical and not all apps have been thoroughly tested. I don't have an email that I can share **
**  on a public site, but leave comments here and I'll try to look into it. Keep in mind that I'm still learning some       **
**  of the things that goes into doing this.                                                                                **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  And now for the list. I'll describe the more obscure ones and add notes about how they were made or observed issues. I  **
**  won't go into much detail on the ones everybody has.                                                                    **

**  AppTimer will attempt to close the application in an automated fashion while logging the startup time measurements to a **

**  ASIO card.                                                                                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Burrrn 1.14b2 (SFX) This is the burner I used to use back when I was an audiophile wannabe. If you have a nice FLAC    **
**  rip with cuesheet, this is the one to use. Supports track/album ReplayGain (for you non-purists!) and has a nice        **
**  cuesheet editor. Comes with all kinds of codecs, including flac, WavPack, ogg, mp3, and shorten.                        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -CCleaner 3.17 (SFX) Everybody knows this one. Makes it easy to clear all those restore points and such.                **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -CDisplayEX 1.8 (SFX) My favorite comic book reader. I prefer to install it so I can have all associations and          **
**  and thumbnails nicely working, but I need my CDEX with me at all times!                                                 **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -CDXtract 4.5 (SFX) Can extract audio from Akai, E-MU and all kinds of sampler CDs and convert between them. Can also   **
**  create nice HTML databases.                                                                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -CheckFolder (SFX) Checks if a disk can be read. Works for HDD/FLASH or CD/DVD and all that.                            **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Chicken Translator 2.9.5.8 (SFX) Another sampler converter utility. The SFX has a batch that will copy utilpt32.dll,   **
**  comctl32.ocx and wnaspi32.dll if they are not present (no overwriting) and register the program. After terminating,     **
**  translator.exe must be terminated manually with the task manager. Don't know why it won't exit with class..             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -ClamWin (PA>SFX) Nice antivirus if you can live without real-time scanning. It comes with updated definitions database.**
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -CoffeeCup HTML Editor 2010 (PA>SFX) This was my first subject for PortableApps platform experimenting. Seems nice with **
**  templates and images, but also bloated. eh..                                                                            **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -ColorConsole (PAL>SFX) Replacement for the Windows CLI with tab support, command bookmarks, color themes and context   **
**  menu support. I says it does highlighting but haven't figured out how. I'm taking suggestions for better ones.          **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -ColorCop (PA>SFX) Lets you use a color-dropper thing to grab a color from anywhere in your desktop and gives you the   **
**  RBG values. Should be called ColorThief really.                                                                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Convert 4.1 (PAL>SFX) Nice unit conversion app. I think it stores setting in the registry. Might look into it later.   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Cool Beans NFO Creator (SFX) Haven't really used this one too much, and it might error out if ran straight from the    **
**  temp folder. Seems to work fine if extracted elsewhere?                                                                 **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Cool Reader 3 (SFX) Cool Reader is cool. It's light with an uncluttered interface, and has nice options to set up the  **
**  theme and page view. My preferred reader for epub and mobi. I had to add the VS2008 .DLLs which make the archive        **
**  400KB bigger, but now it runs in a virgin XP installation :D Sadly, seems like the settings are stored in the registry, **
**  and the default configuration is pretty retarded and I don't think it's worth it to make it a thinapp. I suggest you    **
**  change to two-page view right away. I might look into making a batch for basic settings. I don't think this runs in     **
**  Win2K.                                                                                                                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -CorelDraw X3 (Thinapp>SFX) Or at least I think it a Thinapp. It compressed from 130MB TO 33MB. This one takes a while  **
**  to load. Thanks to whoever thinned it.                                                                                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Crimson Editor (SFX from Portableapps) Using npp portable always messes up my associations, and this one doesn't. It   **
**  was my editor of choice until I tried npp.                                                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -daa2iso (.exe) Nice little freebie that does what the name implies. Screw you PowerISO!! j/k                           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Dependency Walker (SFX) Helps you figure out what dependencies apps have. I think it's part of VB6?                    **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -DVDStyler 2.1 (PA>SFX) I couldn't do TMPGEnc DVD Author, so I decided to go for this one. I don't know if I ever       **
**  authored a DVD with this one. Don't really like the interface, but meh..                                                **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -ERUNT (SFX) Nice registry backup and restore tool. If you extract it, it also has NTREGOPT, a registry compactor. Came **
**  like that from the dev's site.                                                                                          **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -dBpoweramp Music Converter Reference v14.2 (Thinapp) This one I found. It has the CD ripper, converter and batch       **
**  converter. I prefer EAC and the FLAC, WV and LAME codecs, but It's handy to have. Settings are saved with the apps.     **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Disk Pulse 3.8.20 (Thinapp) Monitors any change to the drive/folder/s you choose (created-modified-deleted files)      **
**  and logs to screen in real-time. It can export reports to nice HTML files. I made it a thinapp so I can save my         **
**  profiles. Sandbox is created next to app. This is one of the tools I use the most when trying to make something         **
**  portable. This is the free version but does plenty. Anyone's got the full one?                                          **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Double Driver 4.1.0 (SFX) Backs up and restores already installed drivers. It saved me from deep poo a few times.      **
**  Doesn't seem to run on Win2K :(                                                                                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -DVDDecrypter 3.5.4.0 (Thinapp) This one I found. Leaves sandbox called 'Appdata' in the same dir as the app. Haven't   **
**  fully tested but seems to work. Oldie but goodie.                                                                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -DVDInfo 4.7 (Thinapp) This one I found too. It leaves '\Application Data\Thinstall\DVDInfoPro' and the process stays   **
**  loaded after terminating. I tried to do the newest version and had the same issue. DVDInfo shows you all kinds of       **
**  info about your drives and discs. It can also perform CRC checks on discs. Pretty useful.                               **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -EAC .95pb4 (PAL>SFX) I don't know what folks are using nowadays, but I still trust good old EAC.                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -EnCase 4.20 (SFX) Not too sure about this one. Apparently it's used by enforcement agencies for forensic investigation.**
**  It's a rar containing the SFX and PDF manual. It's configured to write projects to C:\encase but you can easily change  **
**  that.                                                                                                                   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Ethereal .10.14 (PAL>SFX) Now known as WireShark (which is portable). This one is for the old-schoolers. Any newer     **
**  version will give me a blue screen if ran as portable. You need to install WinPCap or you won't be able to monitor.     **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Everything 1.2.1.371 (SFX) Another great freebie. It creates a list of every file in your computer in seconds. Once    **
**  you start typing, it filters out whatever doesn't match your search. A real time-saver. Apparently it also has an FTP   **
**  and HTTP server.                                                                                                        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Extreme Sample Converter 3.6 (SFX) Another good tool for folks that like to mess with samplers. Useful to convert      **
**  those classic E-MU discs/ISOs to Kontakt :D                                                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -FreeMeter (SFX) This is the first thing I install after a fresh format, so I had to automate the process. Basically I  **
**  now I just have to extract, import .reg (with my settings) and drop link in startup. This is an old CPU/RAM/HDD         **
**  monitoring program with meters in the tray. No bells or whistles.                                                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -File Scavenger 3.2 (PAL>SFX) After all their spam and great reviews, I decided to try it out, and I gotta say it's     **
**  pretty good. It was able to recover quite a few files from a re-partitioned re-formated drive. The package is a WinRar  **
**  SFX that runs a batch (reg.bat) that attempts to silently merge dk.reg into the registry to unlock the program. It      **
**  seems to work in XP, but I don't know how security is in Vista/7, so I'd like to hear how it works for you guys. You    **
**  can always extract the .reg and either import it to the registry of through the program itself. This one is worth a try **
**  IMO. It lets you type file extensions and offers a nice tree view.                                                      **

**  -FileZilla 3.6.4 (SFX) Another classic freebie. Extract if you want to keep your bookmarks.                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -FLAC 1.2.1b (SFX) The frontend with the VB files so it can run on a fresh install.                                     **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -FolderSizes 1.3 (PA>SFX) This is the old freeware version which is light and uglier. It can export to HTML and it's    **
**  to see where all your space is being used. Also can help you find empty directories. I preffer VisuarDirSize for Total  **
**  Commander, but it's good to have a stand-alone one too.                                                                 **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Adobe Flash Player (.exe) Dunno where I got this. It plays flash video better that VLC or MPC.                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Folder2ISO (.exe) a-ha!                                                                                                **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Freeraser 1.0.0.23 (SFX) Drag files into the icon to shred them. Do some really big files to watch the cool animation. **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -GetData Recover My Files 4.9.4 (PA>SFX) You can't have too many of these things around, especially ready to go like    **
**  this. If you can get past the retarded name and fugly GUI, it's alright.                                                **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -GetDataBack for FAT/NTFS (Thinapp) Never really worked out for me, but they seem to be popular, so I keep it around    **
**  just in case.                                                                                                           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -GIMPshop 2.2.8 (PAL>SFX) Oh God knows I've tried to like the GIMP. This version is set up a bit better, but I'd still  **
**  rather use PhotoFiltre if for whatever reason I'm avoiding Photoshop. But it's still legendary, even if only because all**
**  the controversy, and someone had to do it.                                                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Glary Registry Repair 3.3 (PAL>SFX) I'm not really a fan of registry fixers, but once I decided to try the most        **
**  recommended  ones, and this one is the only one I didn't hate. Sometimes I run it and look at the results out of        **
**  curiosity more than anything.                                                                                           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -GrabIt 1.7.2 b6 (PA>SFX) This is a very nice and easy to use usenet client. It can decode yEnc and decompress and      **
**  repair using parity records automatically. The settings get updated every time you run it to download inside the        **
**  Pal/Data directory, so if you run from SFX and close it, it'll all get deleted, so careful with that. You can use the   **
**  built-in search for free three times a day, and otherwise, he won't ask you for any money.                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Hoo Wintail (PA>SFX) Teh coolest tail/log monitor evar! It can open multiple docs using tabs or MDI, has some pretty   **
**  advanced highlighting and crazy email alert options. A+ interface too.                                                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -HTML Help Workshop 4.74 (SFX) It's supposed to be for creating CHM or HLP files I guess? I've been meaning to learn it,**
**  but it's got a very confusing interface.                                                                                **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Guidua 0.16 (SFX) OiNKers might remember this one. It's a GUI for oidua, a CLI app that creates a nice HTML list of    **
**  your mp3 collection with sizes, bitrates and lame switches. Don't know if it supports the 'V' switches. The archive     **
**  includes the needed VB files. It's configured to save the HTML file in it's own dir, so browse to it, or save the page  **
**  from your browser. A W E S O M E                                                                                        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -HFS - HTTP File Server 2.2f (SFX) Another super-cool freebie. You drag files into it, and it creates an HTML page with **
**  links to it and it serves the page. Good to quickly share files over HTTP. Extract if you wanna keep your new settings. **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -HxD (SFX) A free hex editor. I don't remember why exactly, but it compared favorably in Wikipedia.                     **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -IcoFX 1.6.4 (SFX) Very nice light and free icon editor/creator.                                                        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -IconChanger 3.4 (Thinapp) Average old shareware. I like the fact that it lets you scan whole drives. Expect the Win2K  **
**  and Win98 icon collection soon :D                                                                                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -ImgBurn 2.5.6.0 (SFX) By the guy that made DVDDecrypter. It writes all kings of images, including Clone CD, Nero,      **
**  Alcohol and whatnot. They say it's very accurate.                                                                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Info-ZIP WiZ 503xN (PAL>SFX) This one is for nostalgia more than anything. A Zip utility with Windows 3.1 GUI!         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -InfraRecorder .52 (SFX) Who burns CD compilations anymore? Not me, but this one looks adequate enough, in case I need  **
**  to use it.                                                                                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -InstallShield CAB File Viewer 14.0 (SFX) Extracted from the InstallShield suite by Wizard (I think?). Useful to edit   **
**  those darn installers.                                                                                                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -IrfanView 4.30 (SFX) You knew this one was coming.                                                                     **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -KeePass 1.22 (SFX) Lately I'm using the passstore plugin for Total Commander, which is based on this, but I like to    **
**  keep this one around, dunno why. I like how you can save the encrypted database to a location of your choice.           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -KompoZer .7.10 (SFX) I've never used an HTML editor, but with so many portable server stuff, I thought it'd be handy   **
**  to have one around. This one seemed good enough. It can do tables very nicely. Otherwise, I don't know much about it.   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Leeos Query Application (PAL>SFX) Been using this one for years. It can do port scans, ping, whois, IP>host and        **
**  vice-versa and various other things.                                                                                    **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Leeos SMIP (SFX) Part of Query, this is a little app that tells you your LAN and WAN IP and let's you copy it to your  **
**  clipboard.                                                                                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -MagicISO 5.5b281 (PAL>SFX) Found it. Being an SFX means it won't leave a sandbox laying around.                        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (PA>SFX) I didn't do this one, and I'm not a fan of the guys, but I kinda failed, and        **
**  everybody should have this around. All I did was update it and pack it. Comes pretty much untested. I can tell you it   **
**  leaves folders and registry entries around.                                                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Media Player Classic Home Cinema 1.6.0 (SFX) Configured to write to .ini in temp w00t No leftovers AFAIK. I don't think**
**  I'm gonna include VLC, even though it's my favorite, as it messes my associations up and trying to change some settings **
**  make it crash on me. No problems with a normal install though. Not that there's anything wrong with MPC..               **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -MilkShape 3D 1.8.4 (Thinapp>SFX) Super legendary 3D modeling and animation app created to work on the Half-Life models.**
**  Now this one I'm not even sure should be here. I tried SFX and it would go to trial. Then I tried Thinapp, and the      **
**  package was ~80MB, while the program should be less than 10MB. What I ended up doing was compressing the package, which **
**  resulted in an 8MB file, but when you exit the program, the 80MB file remains in your temp folder. Which is what we have**
**  here. The only other solution I can think of is to just pack the game with the keygen, but that's not very classy       **
**  either. Oh well, you can skip this one and download the installer or delete the files from the temp when you're done.   **
**  Either way, I had to include, since it's the app that I learned on and got me interested in other ones.                 **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Microangelo 6 (SFX) I packed each executable with the needed files so they could be ran without having to have the     **
**  other ones around. The downside is that they won't communicate with each other, but everything can be accomplished      **
**  manually.                                                                                                               **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Minihost 1.64 (SFX) Kick-ass VSTi host. Supports MIDI controllers and has the best bank (FXP) editor ever. You need    **
**  an ASIO driver to use it. Get ASIO4all if you don't have an ASIO card.  GOLD JERRY GOLD!!!                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -mIRC 7.22 (SFX) Another inevitable addition.                                                                           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Mobipocket Reader 6.2 (Thinapp) Not a big fan, but it's an acceptable solution. In fact, I don't remember what format  **
**  I use this for? Anyways, It's got the cleanest configuration I could come up with and sandbox is emptied on exit.       **
**  Seriously, doesn't Cool Reader open .mobi?  hmm                                                                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -mp3DirectCut 2.15 (SFX) Another classic. The only editor I know off that can crop and do such edits to mp3s without    **
**  re-encoding. Useful to remove those nasty clicks from that bad 128k rip of that super-rare CD.                          **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Mp3tag 2.5 (PA>SFX) We all know this one, no?                                                                          **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -MrQuestionMan (.exe) By the creator of Burrrn, this one tells you useful info about MP3s and other types, including    **
**  codec, version and switched used by LAME. Never leave home without it. You wouldn't want people thinking you're not     **
**  cool, would you? Check out the 'About' for a cheap laugh. heh heh                                                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Neo's SafeKeys 3.1.4 (SFX) Use and on-screen keyboard then drag-drop the text, in case they are watching you with a    **
**  keylogger. I actually used it to make this nfo. The portable version didn't work for me, but the install did, so this   **
**  the install folder SFX'd. Go figure..                                                                                   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Nirsoft Launcher 1.11.50 (SFX) If you're an HBCD user, chances are you've come across a few of their apps. Well, this  **
**  is a collection of most of their apps within a nice launcher with categories and search. There's tons of network,       **
**  recovery and registry tools here, a few of them quite hacky. And you thought Sysinternals were cool.                    **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -NIYoW 1.7.6 (SFX) Bulk renamers confuse and scare me, but once, while creating a Kontakt library, I no doubt needed    **
**  one. This one sold me with it's wizard, and it's still the only renamer I feel comfortable with. It's ugly, old, their  **
**  site went under, and it's got a wizard LOLZ, but I'll be damn if they take NIYoW from me. I'll ignore any criticism     **
**  about this here app.                                                                                                    **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -NSIS ANSI 2.46 (PA>SFX) This is the "Nullsoft Scriptable Install System" which is open source and also happens to be   **
**  what the folks over at portableapps.com use to build their installers. I'm no expert on this, but I used it to switch a **
**  few  of the PA splashes. Maybe someday I'll learn how to actually change the filename in the script so I can use images **
**  with transparency :D This portable version comes loaded with plugins, from what I understand.                           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -NSIS unicode 2.46.3 (PA>SFX) If ANSI errors out, use this one. There's another copy in the Portableapps launcher, so   **
**  is a dupe really. I like to have it separately though.                                                                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Offline Explorer 4.9 (Thinapp I think) This lets you download sites with a certain number of levels according to your  **
**  criteria. It's on the bloaty side, but I only use it a few times a year, and it gets the job done. I've never tried a   **
**  substitute.                                                                                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -OllyDbg 1.10 (SFX) Probably the most popular free debugger. If it complains about missing PSAPI.DLL, it's in an        **
**  archive inside the archive. The UDD and plugin paths in the ini are relative and point to empty directories in the      **
**  archive. Ah, the things you gotta do sometimes to make something portable..                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -on-screen ruler (SFX) to measure pixels and whatnot.                                                                   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -PhotoFiltre 7.0 (SFX) Somewhere between IrfanView and Photoshop lies PhotoFiltre. I believe this was the first version **
**  to support transparency. Anyone's got version 8 with the deform tool? This might write something to Application Data.   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Adobe Photoshop 8 (?>SFX) Found it. I just made an SFX out of it. I've been using it for a while and works great.      **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -PMView 3.60 (PAL>SFX) If you're like me, you bow down to the i_view32.exe, but if you ever tried to load a very large  **
**  file you'll notice how zooming can really take time and it gets worse the more you zoom in. PMView zooms very quickly,  **
**  with no effect on quality, even with resample on. I don't know how they do it, but if you view large hirez maps,        **
**  satellite or astronomy photos (some of them have to be downloaded with bit torrent :O), you'll need this.               **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -PortableApps Launcher Toolkit (PA>SFX) There's a few things in this archive. The PA launcher creator, which is the     **
**  main attraction, NSIS unicode, which compiles packages, the AppCompactor, haven't really used it yet, the template with **
**  a few commented inis that I use, and two extra super-commented inis I found. Everything needed to compile a launcher.   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Power Data Recovery 6.5 (SFX) This one was extracted from HBCD. It's a WinRar SFX that runs a batch (reg.bat) that     **
**  attempts to silently import License.reg. Works in XP, but I'd like to hear how it works in Vista/7 for you guys. I had  **
**  to include this one because after trying a few, this was the only tool that was able to recover a few important files   **
**  from a re-partitioned/re-formated drive. I recommend using a few different ones when you need to recover a lot of       **
**  files, but right now, this would be my first choice from the list. Made by MiniTools, the same dudes that make the      **
**  Partition Wizard from HBCD fame.                                                                                        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -PuTTY .62 (SFX) Docs included. The classic telnet client. This is the version that also does SSH.                      **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -QuickPar (SFX) Creates parity volumes in the 2.0 specification. Very easy to use.                                      **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Rainlendar 2 (SFX) Not really meant to be ran from a pen drive, but more to skip the installation and keep on a drive  **
**  or partition that's not where Windows is, so it'll be ready and waiting for you after you reformat your C:, along with  **
**  all your other portables.                                                                                               **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -RBTray (SFX) By right-clicking the minimize button of a window/app, it can minimize pretty much anything to the tray.  **
**  Not configurable like AllToTray, but works fine. This is one of the few shortcuts that has made it to my startup.       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -RegBak (SFX) Registry backup and restoration tool. The backups contain an executable for easy restoration.             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Registry Workshop 4.5 (PA>SFX) Very cool registry editor with undo history, nice search, bookmarking and export.       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Recuva 1.42 (SFX) Very nice freeware recovery tool that offers preview for images. From the makers of CCleaner.        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Regshot 1.8.3b1 v5 (SFX) Another tool that came useful while doing this project. It basically takes two snapshots      **
**  of the registry and reports the changes.                                                                                **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Resource Hacker (SFX) Another everyone has, but now you don't have to install. I prefer Resourcer, but this one has    **
**  no dependencies, so I carry it around.                                                                                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Resourcer .9.3531 (PAL>SFX) Very nice GPL resource editor. It can show all files under the same node in the right      **
**  window, so it makes it quicker to find that item you're looking for.                                                    **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -restoration2514 (SFX) Classic undelete freeware utility. I don't think it works with reformatted volumes, but useful   **
**  to quickly restore files after emptying the recycle bin with filename search.                                           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -RevoUninstaller 1.93 (SFX) Everybody's doing it, so why can't I?                                                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -savihost (SFX) Another mini VSTi host.                                                                                 **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -server2go 1.82 (SFX) A so-called server-on-a-CD, this pretty much runs a WAMP using temp files. I think it's meant to  **
**  make CDs with SQL/PHP apps on them. I think it's the easiest way to have a server going (just click on the executable   **
**  and you're running), and it might be useful to test-run PHP/MySQl apps like Wiki or forums, since it's pretty much      **
**  read-only and you won't mess up you database, but the dude wants 40 pounds just to have the ability to change the MySQL **
**  password, so I suggest you go with XAMPP if you want a portable WAMP-type deal. Interesting idea nonetheless.           **

**  -Serv-U 6.1 (PAL>SFX) My favorite FTP server, this is before they went all bloaty on me. It's configured with anonymous **
**  read-only access in \Data\FTP, write access in \Data\FTP\upload and logging to \Data\servu.log. Note that if you run it **
**  in portable mode, these settings will be reset every time you start it. If you want to run it portable and be able to   **
**  configure users, dirs and change the location of the log, you must delete or comment out [FileWrite1] to [FileWrite4]   **
**  and everything under them in: App\AppInfo\Launcher\ServU6Portable.ini. These four FileWrites are writing to             **
**  App\ServU6Portable\ServUDaemon.ini. Lastly, it won't properly run from SFX and must be extracted, which I assume is     **
**  what most people do anyway?                                                                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -ShowIP 1.6.4 (SFX) Small app that shows your LAN and WAN IP. This is the crappy ugly white version with the nag screen **
**  and no traditional menu. I'm desperately looking for an older version. If someone has a copy, please share!!!           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Snood 2.2 (SFX) No self-respecting compilation would be complete with some sort of snood in there.                     **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Spacesniffer 1.1.4 (SFX) Shows drive space usage in a very graphical way. Could be use as a very awkward file manager. **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Spybot 1.6.2 r2 (PA>SFX) Comes with updated database.                                                                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -SumatraPDF 2.0.1 (SFX) I know everybody has this one, and it's portable, but as I said before, I only want single      **
**  executables! Settings database is archived with the main app. yay                                                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -SyncBack 3.2 (PAL>SFX) I've been using Total Commander for most of my syncing, but this one offers many more options   **
**  and it saves profiles. It's an older version because I'm afraid of change.                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -SysTracer (SFX) Like a RegShot on steroids, takes two snapshots of your system and reports the differences to a nicely **
**  formatted HTML. This is the Pro version.                                                                                **

**  -Sysinternals (SFX) A few of the classics packed with docs: Autoruns, FileMon, PortMonNT, Process Explorer, RegMon      **
**  TCPView and Process Monitor.                                                                                            **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -taptempo (.exe) Find out the tempo of a song by tapping on your spacebar. I record covers sometimes..                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -tinytask (.exe) Records and plays back macros. I usually use another one, but this one is fast to setup and it's       **
**  mega-light.                                                                                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 (SFX) The king of all MPG encoders. Oldie but goodie without the extra fat.                           **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Treepad Lite 4.3 (SFX) Imagine having a notepad that can do pages. Lot less of a mess around!                          **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -TrueCrypt 7.1a (SFX) This very cool GPL program lets you create encrypted virtual drives that reside in files that can **
**  be handled like any other file. Once you mount the volume after entering password, it acts like any other volume with   **
**  letter under My Computer, and you're free to do as you like in there. There's a Linux and OSX version, so you know you  **
**  can open your file pretty much anywhere. If you want to encrypt your system partition, you need to install it,          **
**  otherwise, you can have an encrypted 'volume' on your flash-drive with your sensitive data, and your copy of TrueCrypt  **
**  in the unencrypted part. You can also create a hidden volume inside the 'visible' volume. Read the manual. This thing   **
**  is awesome.                                                                                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Ulead Gif Animator 5.05 (PAL>SFX) Great for making animated GIFs from video clips.                                     **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -UnFREEz 2.1 (SFX) Old app for making animated GIFs out of a few still images. Source included.                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -uniextract 161 (SFX) When are you gonna open UPX? *prays*                                                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -unlocker 1.9 (SFX) I never like the "assistant" thing. This one opens the normal browser.                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -uTorrent 2.2.1 (PA>SFX) Because I don't like 3x. AFAIK, this is the last 2x version to come out. Just like GrabIt, I   **
**  would be very careful if running this without extracting first.                                                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Vegas 5.0d (Thinapp) Because people were making amazing videos 'back in 2004'. It asked for the VC or B framework      **
**  during installation, but seems to run fine without it. I loaded an uncompressed video with LAME audio and seemed        **
**  to work fine, but this old laptop can't really handle video editing, so I would appreciate someone testing this more.   **
**  Plus it's being so long since I've messed with this, I don't even remember how to use AVISynth..                        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Virtual Floppy Drive 2.1 (SFX) It creates virtual floppy drives (ORLY) with letters under My Computer and mounts all   **
**  kinds of types of images. Essential for us DOS freaks.                                                                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -VirtualDub 1.10.1 (PAL>SFX) This is the newest experimental build. The archive contains the newest LAME ACM and XviD   **
**  Jawer encoders and the plugin dir has delogo, the direct show input driver and a few sharpen and soften filters.        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Visual Basic 6 (?) Major kudos to whoever did this. It's 6MB and it works! OMG                                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Wavosaur .1.0.5.0 (SFX) The lightest of all programs. Full featured audio editor with support for VST that will run on **
**  air. Some sort of quick-start guide included in the archive, which brought the size up to 896KB. That's ~18 times the   **
**  size of this text so far.                                                                                               **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -WavPack Frontend 4.60.1 (SFX) By Speek. I use Wavpack for hirez audio. Do you? Necessary VB files included!            **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -WeatherMate 3.4.4 (SFX) Weather app. Comes configured for my locations, just so you know..                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -WhereIsIt 3.53 (PAL>SFX) What an appropriate name. I'd use 3.95, but this is the only version that consistently has    **
**  worked for me without locking out my catalogs with the famous 'warez user' password. HOW DARE YOU LULZ Sadly, this      **
**  version stores the configuration in the registry, but it should work fine. Just untick the TOTD when running on a       **
**  different computer. I might try to make a .reg with some basic settings and an inject script later.                     **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Winamp 2.95 (SFX) Has the FLAC, Wavpack and Ogg Vorbis codecs and the legendary alarm clock plugin.                    **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -WinAudit 2.29 (SFX) "Computer audit and inventory software". Creates some very nice XML reports.                       **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Winboard 4.5.3 (PA>SFX) Comes with the patched Chessmaster 8k, 9k, 10k and GNUChess engines. C O O L                   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Winfile NT4.0 (SFX) This is the Windows file manager from the old days that started shipping with Windows 3. Because   **
**  sometimes I can't be bothered with icons, Explorer, the mighty Total Commander or the current century. You can imagine  **
**  how fast this runs on modern hardware, and you can have many 'windows' inside the MDI. Try opening 10 windows then tile **
**  them. W I N. Can set permisions and connect to network drives. I find it annoying that it will remember opened folders  **
**  when you open a drive. Settings are stored in 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\File Manager\Settings' and I feel I shouldn't be **
**  messing with that, for now. Customizations to the toolbar don't seem to stick. I extracted this from the NT4SP6 and it  **
**  should run out-of-the-box in XP. For Vista and 7, check here: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~davidsch/vistafm/               **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -Winhex 16.3 (SFX) Classic hex editor. I had to set the temp location to C: so watch for extra files there. I couldn't  **
**  get it to use relative paths and I don't think thinapping this is worth it.                                             **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -WinImage 8.50 (Thinapp) Another essential for us DOS freaks. Lets you open and create all kinds of images, including   **
**  floppy ones. If you combine it with the filedisk driver, lets you mount them. Sandbox emptied on exit.                  **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -WinMerge 2.12.4.0 (PAL>SFX) Open Source differencing and merging tool. Archive contains the VB dependencies.           **

**  -WinMd5sum (exe) Nice little stand-alone md5 checker. I generally use HashCheck, but it's shell-only.                   **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -WinRar 4.11 (SFX of course!) Cuz life wouldn't be the same without you. Marry me WinRar!                               **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -WinTools 11.7.1 Ultimate (Thinapp) This one retains the settings in the sandbox created in the same dir as the app.    **
**  It's got various tools like a registry fixer, defragger, net tweaker, but the only one I really use is the uninstaller  **
**  that scans your system before and after and saves the list of changes to undo them later. I don't know how much I would **
**  trust doing that long term with the portable version. I suggest you install the normal one if you intend to use it      **
**  regularly, not that I observed any weird behavior.                                                                      **

**  -WinZip 16 (Thinapp) Oh how I hate your spammy install and your bloated body. I think I've used WinZip once in the last **
**  ten years. This one was done for the sake of completeness. At least I won't have to see your annoying install sequence  **
**  anymore. You don't even run on Win2K. Are people really still using this? Version 16? Isn't that one more than          **
**  Photoshop?                                                                                                              **

**  -WS_FTP 9.01 (thinapp) This was really an experiment more than anything. Seems to work, but really didn't like the      **
**  interface. But I know it's pretty popular, so here you have it.                                                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**  -XAMPP 1.7.7 xtralite USB (RAR) This is the USB edition of XAMPP, with everything configured with relative paths, so    **
**  you can move the whole folder if you want to. This is the so called lite version that comes with:                       **
**                                                                                                                          **

**   PHP 5.3.8                                                                                                              **

**   OpenSSL 1.0.0e                                                                                                         **
**                                                                                                                          **
**   I removed some of the embedded and debug MySQL files that take about 170MB. They are located in the 'removed' archive. **
**  Extract to the XAMPP folder if you need them back. I also added Webalizer, added the folder 'htdocs\webalizer-stats'    **
**  and the msfree image (haven't thought of something clever to replace it with). Note that Webalizer is configured to     **
**  output to a public dir, so if you don't want that, change the location in the .conf. There's a batch to run Webalizer,  **
**  instead of running it from the CLI called 'webalizer.bat'. Look through the .conf as Webalizer is pretty configurable.  **
**  I think that once you get it all going, you should set localhost or 127.0.0.1 or whatever appears in the access.log     **
**  whenever you visit locally to 'Ignore'. Note that Webalizer won't run if there's no access.log, so make sure you browse **
**  through some pages before trying it out. Read the .conf for more info. There's also some GUI for it, but I find it      **
**  confusing. You might also be interested in 'Geolizer' and country flags for a super-pimped Webalizer. Fun stuff.        **
**                                                                                                                          **
**   So just decompress the XAMPP folder to the root of any drive, and run 'xampp-control.exe', start Apache and MySQL, and **
**  go to 'localhost' with your browser. Once you get to the orange page, click on 'Security' then on the xamppsecurity     **
**  link toward the bottom to set your passwords, and you're all set. Make a nice favicon too!                              **
**                                                                                                                          **
**   n00b alert: Don't try to run this from an USB v1 port (like me), it won't be able to keep up. What I do is run it from **
**  Q:\XAMPP and I have a backup copy on my pen-drive (I've lost so much of my HTML work over the years, but not anymore),  **
**  and sync with Total Commander once in a while or whenever I do some work. So that's my backup and I can run it on any   **
**  computer :D This is really awesome stuff. You can also get the full package from their site that also has an email      **
