Registry cleaner and defrag utility for usb pen?

Submitted by ik8vwa on April 7, 2007 - 4:16am

Since I have a laptop provided by my employer (Government) I cannot have full access to some Windows' functions such as the onboard defrag utiliy or installing a registry cleaner. This is clearly a problem if I want to do some maintenance to the system, so I was wondering if you can provide a reliable and portable (for usb pen drive) defrag utility and a registry cleaner.
Thanks a lot for your attention

ArgoUML as a portable app

Submitted by Halpo on April 6, 2007 - 12:47pm

How about ArgoUML as a portable app? I know that it is often run as a java web start app but it would be very handy if it was available as a portable app as well since I'm not always connected to the internet and not always on the same computer.

I imagine that it would only be a repackaging deal but I'm not sure. Is there anywhere that has directions as to how to properly package a portable App?

thanks

Scientific Calculator

I would be grateful for a scientific calculator as a portable app. There is Xcalc but this is reverse polish notation/HP which is difficult to use compared with DAL logic. I know it's only a question of what you're used to by HP style takes some getting used too.

thanks

Foobar2000

I think foobar2000 would make a good portable app if possible. I find it better then Winamp for audio purposes and since we have Portable VLC for video it would be nice for those who want specialized programs. And foobar2000 also uses less RAM then WinAmp from what I noticed using the full install, and installed it has a smaller filesize then WinAmp.

It can be found at
