Premise:
Posters frequently ask for a portable version of a certain software. Usually this is a common type of software that leaves settings or files in some part of the local PC if it is not modified.

John or one of the many frequent visitors to the forums might possibly see if that software can be modified and made portable or not.

Long Path Fixer

Submitted by rbon on July 17, 2026 - 1:07pm

Long Path Fixer allows you to delete files (usually folders) longer than 260 characters, which Windows allows itself to create but then do not allow you to delete.
These folders are created in %appData% and placed inside a 'Temp' folder.

The program declares itself Portable, but then creates a 'corz' folder in %appData%.
This 'corz' folder contains a 'Long Path Fixer' subfolder with two .ini files:
• date-time Long Path fixer.ini.ini
• Long Path Fixer.ini
The contents of which appear identical and indicate the names of the deleted folders.

Mr Haller et al,
I would like to humbly submit my app for inclusion. It is native portable out of the box, so does not require a wrapper.
https://github.com/brain-75/Alarm-Clock-PowerPro/releases/latest

if you decide to link to my github please make sure to link to the /latest not /version-x-y-z page.

Any questions you can ping me here, email, github, etc.

Rapid Environment Editor (RapidEE) is an environment variables editor. It includes easy to use GUI and replaces small and inconvenient Windows edit box. It shows environment variables and values as an editable tree and provides a variable inspector, backup, multiuser support, error checking and much more.

I searched the forum and found an old post from 2013 in the developer forum.
