Request Apps

I can't find the post about Skype, but i suggest to keep OpenWengo (GPL) in mind: http://www.openwengo.org/

FairUse Wizard is an open source (GPL) DVD backup tool. It can directly encode fron DVD (without ripping) to XVID/H264(video)-AC3/MP3/Vorbis(audio)-AVI/OGM/MKV(container).
It also has internal codecs (doesn't need VFW sh*t).
It would be great to have a portable version...

TaskSwitchXP is very usefull and free replacement of Alt-Tab function in Win XP/2003 - http://www.ntwind.com/software/taskswitchxp.html

the licence is here:http://www.ntwind.com/software/taskswitchxp/license.html

Could anyone made it portable (or guide me how to do this) ?
As far as I noticed the tool is only using registry to store settings

Hi All.

Just found this site while looking for things to put on a few old USB drives. There are some good ones here. I also had a few already (I think) any comments on them.

All seem to work ok.

Any number of administrative tools for windows servers would be a big boost to all fo us admin's out there. I hate having to install tools on workstations to perform one simple task - or having to run back to my office or the server room to add a user or reset a password in Active Directory. I realize that the Windows MMC's are tightly integrated into windows but is it possible that these admin tools could be made to run on a U3 Smartdrive?

I found a great little solution for remote desktop client and VNC viewer called "damn small linux" which runs just fine off of my U3 key, but having the tools themselves would be even better. Can you shed any insight on this topic?

Did a quick search and didn't see another topic on this one.

Evolution is a free package from Novell, and is available for Windows based systems as well as Linux systems. I find it to be nicer than Thunderbird because of the Calendar integration - in fact it looks very much like Outlook, only far lighter and faster.

Is this one a possibility?

Also - thanks for all the hard work - you do excellent stuff on this site!

Launchy is a great file/application launcher that would be great for a thumbdrive here is the site: http://www.launchy.net/. Please make it portable since all you have to o is set up keystrokes and you can launch something with those strokes.

This buttonbar would make a great addition over the clumsy quicklaunch, esp now that the author writes all settings to ini files...

I have only used this a wee bit and it seems very good, better than NVU as a javascript (& general web) editor for my uses.

It's open source, and still in beta, but it seems very close already to being able to run from portable media - only required setting that I know of is a per-session temp dir ('workspace').

Is it suitable for portableapps?

This isn't exactly a request for an app, but rather a way to run other apps... A few apps I'd like to run off my thumb drive (for example, the Jedi Window Dock app).

Basically, I'm hoping for the .NET runtime 2.0 in a ZIP format (or self extractor or whatever, but due to the whole portable thing an installer wouldn't work) and a batch file or something to set the proper environment variables, so when I go to run a .NET app it'll start up without whining about the fact that the runtime isn't installed.

Not sure how possible this would be, but if you guys can get this working, I'd be very grateful.
