Request Apps

Are there any Portable text 2 speech programs that can be run off a USB
stick & that don’t modify the registry? I have tried many from freeware
to shareware, & everyone seems to modify the registry. I don’t have
administrative rights on the computer I’m using, so this registry situation
is messing me up.

--- UPDATE: ---
Looks like DSpeech v1.55.1 is 100% portable, free & sounds considerably
better then the basic Microsoft Sam speech.

possibly something that doesnt need much configuring. this would be nice when people are unable to get on a windows machine...

since i have multiple flashdrives and the computers at school either are sp1 or have administrator student accounts w/ deepfreeze, this works for me fine with out portability tweaks. but it would be great if it were tweaked. my friends and i use borgchat to chat during study period w/o making the teaching mad. we also use powermenu so the teacher wont notice anything at where she is at :D. maybe someone could make a nsis launcher for it?

We need to make programs like GAIM that also get past school proxies and protocols

i was wondering if its possible for someone to create a portable version of shareaza. reason being it is quite a good program for downloading files including bit torrent. also if your low on sources with bit torrent files you can search more out with it giving you more sources so better downloads.

website is www.shareaza.com

Must have for people who cannot afford software like exceed to connect to UNIX/linux servers.
Also this is a GPLed program. So no need to worry about licensing issues.
Thanks

Is there a portable app that could be setup to automatically launch and have a nice interface to launch applications on the flash drive? At the current time, I have to dig into the Program Files folder on my flash drive and it is quite a hassle. Something that would popup with a nice background and an editable list of items would be great. The problem with adding shortcuts on my flash drive is that the drive letter of my flash drive changes from time to time and the shortcuts break, then.

Thanks!

Is it possible to run this from a portable drive.
I am looking into using my portable hard drive as my system but do not want to install Virtual PC 2004 on all the machines I may use. If this program could be ran from a portable drive then I would be able to use it with out software installation.....

Unfortunately, I am unable (or unwilling) to conform to Portable NVU for my coding. My current personal pref is HTMLKit by Chami (www.chami.com), which would be great to have portable, but any other editor suggestions that might be closer to HTMLKit than NVU might be acceptable, too.

TIA

I use text editors a lot, and the one I use more often then not is TextPad. The problem with it is that it was never made to be used on a FlashDrive, and so I always lose my settings.

I don't know if it can be done, as its a program that has to be purchased, but they do have a free version.
