Various questions on future features

Submitted by Gynsu2000 on July 25, 2014 - 4:45am

Hi,
I have few questions regarding features:

1. .NET Portable App : this feature has been announced few years ago but there is still no official word about it. Can we expect this to go live in a near future

2. Launcher customization: will we be able to see basic launcher customization? Like be able to create our own categories and add shortcut to other applications (e.g. installed one, such as Explorer, or Regedit ...)

Thanks!

Currently, there are some false positives in a handful of antivirus engines delaying the release of DSynchronize Portable 2.30.6. These are in the base app and usually the responsibility of the publisher to handle, but the publisher is a bit busy and unfamiliar. So, we're looking for some help.

Freeing Hard Drive Space

I have an extremely old home computer running Windows XP and I only have 15 gigabytes of hard drive space and no matter what I do, I can't free up any more space that 150 megabytes. I've tried powerful uninstallers, antiviruses and even whole PC care suites but those did little to free up my hard drive. And now my only option is wiping the hard drive. I got my PC used so I have nothing except the PC itself, no documentation or CDs. I need to erase everything on my hard drive except for Windows, preferably to factory default. Are there any FREE Windows utilities that can do this?
