I will be teaching an intro to computer class beginning in Jan. and I am going to be giving all the students thumb drives with portable apps, but one of the requests from the school was a personal finance software, that could be taught to the students (all the students are the parents of the kids at this school) and since tax time is rolling around, I thought it might be a good idea, but when I went looking around I could find no *simple* tool that could do several things.

Track expenses, allow them to build budgets, and see how saving money will benefit them in the long run.

Speed

I'd like a program that can speed up the computer by using my fast flash drive instead of virtual memory. I know about WinVista's "ReadyBoost" capabilities (like that'll work). The PC's at my school are older than my brother and sister! They run so slow, my toaster oven is faster (okay, i'm not comparing apples to apples, but it does take 10 minutes to have the PC download a picture of toast)! I know this isn't very feasible (I think), but it's worth a shot. Thanks.

Wallpaper Changer

Using a u3 device there is an application that will change your wallpaper when you insert the device and then change it back when you take it out. is it possible to do this using the portable apps suite (Menu, not sure if that's it right name)
Becuase that has always been a pretty usefull utility.

as well as enabling the menu to launch applications upon insertion or along with the menu. i know this is probably possible by editing the Autorun.inf file but i've yet to try and i'm sure it would be usefull for people not as knowlable with computers as the rest of us.
