Older Version of Skype

Submitted by PerfectFaro on July 11, 2013 - 1:14pm

I have a Dell XPS laptop, and the latest version doesn't work with my computer (Skype has confirmed this, and suggests going back to a previous version). The only version available on this site is the most recent one, which I can't use. Is there any chance of making version 6.3 available (Skype has identified this as the last version that will work with my computer). There are thousands of people having the same problem, so making the previous version available would be a huge help until Skype can get its act together and put out a new working version. Thanks!

Construct 2 - Design HTML5 games!

Construct 2 is found at Scirra.com, and it is VERY cool! But I don't know how easy it can be converted to PAF... It is closed-source, BUT it IS "portable". The only problem is that the installer doesn't have a portable mode. It works if you move it to the Portable Apps folder and move it to another computer, but to install it in the first place creates registry files. The application itself leaves no trace other than the saved game projects and a browser history entry if you test games.

Free Fast Duplicate File Finder

Fast Duplicate File Finder is a freeware tool for searching and removing file duplicates on your Windows computer.

I am occasionally using Fast Duplicate File Finder already since quite some time and I like this tool so much that I would like to see it integrated into the portable apps suite.

Often you want to search for duplicates on different computers and the it would be great to be able to use it without needing to install it first.

ShortExe. Use Windows shortcuts within a USB flash drive--whatever its letter!

This is a simple tool (7 Kb) that allows to use shortcuts targeting paths within a portable drive whose drive letter changes.

It seems to be open source and free:

> Windows insists that a shortcut target must have a fixed drive letter, which means you cannot use Windows shortcuts within a USB flash drive where the drive letter may change.
