Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

HDD cleaner / permanent file eraser

Submitted by joet on January 25, 2006 - 6:57pm

I'm also looking for a portable app that would allow me to overwrite unused sectors of my HDD at work, and/or erase files completely by overwriting the space they occupy in the HDD several times (preferrably customizable, i.e. once, 3x, 5x, or more) using random chars.

I'm, essentially, looking for a portable version of Eraser (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=37015) ... one that doesn't muck with the registry. I don't need the scheduler feature.

disc image viewer

Is there a portable app that can open disc image files (e.g. ISO, BIN/CUE, NRG, etc) for viewing? It would be nice if it could also write to a blank optical medium, but my main concern is just viewing and possibly extracting files/dirs from the image into the HDD.

This is a very good Notepad clone with tabs. It's small too at >200 KB. Leaves no registry entries and is open source!

(go to the bottom and click "Download EXE". Just extract it from the ZIP file and run!)

I've see people post about java programs being portable. Anyone have the steps to making a java app portable?
