nnCron users: tasks "kit" that can improve USB stick usage as a "portable" workplace (IM, browser, documents, etc) at work/home

nnCron tasks "kit" that improves several aspects of USB stick usage as a "portable" workplace (IM, browser, documents, etc).
Increases operation speed; reduces number r/w requests to USB drive and therefore (hopefully) extends drive lifetime. Takes time for sync:) A kind of simple back-up and a chance to get lost in 3 copies (home, work, USB) Smile
Supported use cases:
1. Start work session.
2. End work session.
3. Workstation reboot/shutdown.
4. Notification about access to temporary data location to prevent possible edit of inactive copy of data.

Crashes in Windows 2000

Hi! I have just installed PortableApps Lite 1.0 on my Kingston DataTraveler USB 2.0 device (capacity 1 Gb). When I tried to run PortableApps, it simply crashed with a Windows error message ("PortableAppsMen.exe has performed an illegal operation.....")

Looks like my Windows 2000 (SP4) doesn't like this application at all! Anyone had the same problem?!

ps: My USB 2.0 ports are working fine; I use a USB scanner, a USB fax/printer, two USB drives and a Iomega USB external drive for my backups.
