MICROSOFT´S AGE OF EMPIRES II IS PORTABLE

THE GAME AGE OF EMPIRES II IS PORTABLE

One week ago, I planed my vacations with my family and my 9 years old son asks to me to carry with us his favorite game: Microsoft’s AGE OF EMPIRES II. So I copy the Folder “age of empires II” to my 1 GB USB drive (from “Microsoft games” folder).

So, I open the “empires2.exe” program and… IT WORKS perfectly fine and well in any computer. This game is very heavy (180 MB) but is a very fine and complete strategy game.

I’m a beginner in portability stuff but portability for me means that the programs work well from a USB drive (I do not understand or care what “leave registry” is in hard disc). So, if works, then is portable!!!

si.Mail is an open source client written in Delphi.
It was made completely aware of running of USB stick in lates versions. The only thing that gets written to host sytem are temp files in Temp folder, but that's cleaned after application is shutdown.
Initial size of app and it's libraries is 5MiB, but it can be brougt down by 900KiB, if you remove spellchecker dict folder + siMailSpell.dll.

Hi,

I would like to see this program suitable for USB (preferrable an U3 version):

http://www.workrave.org/welcome/

"Workrave is a free program that assists in the recovery and prevention of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). The program monitors your activity. Using this information, it frequently reminds you to take breaks, and restricts you to your daily limit."

Thanks in advance.

True Portable security

Submitted by avanegmond on July 10, 2006 - 2:48am

My big wish is TrueCrypt without the mandatory "Administration Rights". Does anybody see this happening in the near future?

I use my USB-stick for transport of files between to many different computers and cannot demand to get "Administration Rights" on all of them.

One of my older USB-sticks uses a program called Lock and it does just that, it locks the USB-secure part and keeps it invisible until unlocked. Unfortunately it cannot be installed on sticks of other brands.

I have found the program "Folder Lock" from http://www.newsoftwares.net/

It looks like a very nice program that should just do what I would like it to do.
