Driver Manager, Driver Genius or similar utility

Submitted by Tolqua on October 21, 2013 - 2:55am

PortableApps really needs Driver Manager, Driver Genius or similar driver utility. Although I've never found it necessary to have drivers monitored and regularly scanned/updated which would need a resident installation, it's a great time-saver on new builds and OS upgrades so perfectly suited to the PortableApps armoury. There are dozens on the market, but only the paid ones are really worthwhile.

Acronis Disk Director

Submitted by Tolqua on October 17, 2013 - 11:14am

I guess this might be a bit of a tall order, but a portable version of Acronis Disk Diector or similar partitioning utility would be really useful. I've never managed to make a bootable key to do this and end up having to install the program just to do some repartitioning/resizing that only needs doing the once.

An absolutely ideal use for a portable app, eh?
