Password Protection for USB Key - NOT Encryption

Submitted by DaveI on July 23, 2007 - 8:34pm

My old USB Key DISKGO had a small utility (SecureGuard)
that locked the partition and required a password to
unlock and read the Drive/Key. It was not Encryption
software like TrueCrypt...

Unfortunately I didn't research my new drive (Corsair Voyager GT)
enough...It came with FREEWARE TrueCrypt...I don't want encryption
software and I don't want to either have to load the program on
a PC (requiring to be ADMIN) or to use Travel Mode (Also requiring
PC Admin rights)...

Rapid PHP IDE

Submitted by anywhereman on July 23, 2007 - 10:02am

This software is not free, but it's pretty cheap - I think around $30.

In version 8 of Rapid PHP, they added a capability to install it to a USB Stick.

I would like to see the ability to add this to the PortableApps menu, even though you would need to buy the RapidPHP sofware separately. Perhaps similarly to how XAMPP needs to added to the menu separately after it is installed.

A decent graphics program

Submitted by archie-lukas on July 23, 2007 - 9:02am

Please

GIMP is actually awful to use, terrible non-intuitive interface.

please could we have an alternative?

eg: Paint.net

which has layers and quite easy for me to teach newbies to use.
they can't use GIMP and give up.

BTW, I am a Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro user and teacher,
please trust me on this.

Hi together, I'm using along time PortableThunderbird. But it's 32bit and I use a 64bit machine. I know nothing about porting a app to a portable app, but... I think/hope that it is no so difficult. So please could someone port the thunderbird64 version to ThunderbirdPortable64 ??
Thanks alot
Harvey

Portable Key-logger

Submitted by King Tut on July 22, 2007 - 2:06am

It'd be cool to see a portable key-logger, so I could record key strokes on the computer I'm on to see if someone used it when I walked away of something. I don't want to leave it on there and then walk away and watch everyone's key strokes or anything, just from my flash drive.

Appearance Settings changer.

Submitted by King Tut on July 22, 2007 - 2:00am

Is there an application around that could change the following automatically?

-Resolution (from 900x600 to 1024x768)(Having it ask me what resolution to change to is alright but I'd prefer it to be automatic).
-Wallpaper.
-XP Theme (Optional, but it would be nice).
-The height of the Task bar. (I have it at double-height.. I know I can easily change it on most if not all computer with the right click and unlock it, but this would be better. :P).
-Remove the settings on exit.
