OneNote Portable

Submitted by est on July 4, 2007 - 3:54pm

Hi, this is my first post here. Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 is great software. Although there are many soft like OneNote but I don't think there is any that could replace OneNote. OneNote is extremely convenient as a personal database/knowledge base, article digest, project planning, mind mapping, etc. Most important of all it suports Unicode perfectly. I tried to make it portable but failed. I searched for Portable OneNote but got nothing.

Could anyone make that portable?

XCA requested

This is a handy Certification Authority application. Ilike keeping the CA database on removable storage for security reasons, and would love for the managing application for that database to be on that storage as well.

As best as I can tell from looking at the source, there is one registry key used read-only, that is set in the installer (the location of where the app is installed). Since, in the absence of this key, the value defaults to the executable's path at runtime, this seems like it may magically work as-is without modifying the app at all.

Portable Komodo Edit.

Okay, I found a bit of info on make Komodo Edit run off a flash drive, but it's way way to big, so I'm curious whether someone could make a compressed version + remove the need for opening command prompt to execute it.

Program: Komodo Edit

License: Free, based on Mozilla lib's so should be under same licensing.

Description: Advanced text edit with syntax highlighting, autocompletion of language specific keywords, ability to have addons ect. (not sure if it's exactly the same as Nvu.)
