File Associations Hijack

Submitted by JJDafoe on February 9, 2007 - 2:32pm

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a portable app that hijacked the File Associations and rerouted them to a .reg or a .ini file temporarily. So that when I put in my drive and run the program I can have my custom list of file associations become dominant... (ie html files open in portable firefox, video files open in portable VLC etc.) Then everything goes back to normal when I close the program and remove the drive.

Inkscape 0.45 UPXes down fairly well

Thought some of you might want to know that you can get the extracted 7z version of Inkscape down by about 20-30MB with UPS (I used UPXShell, and chose the 7z version to avoid initial installation). It's still over 100MB if you leave all files intact, but I'm sure there are loads of readme-type files that could be sacrificed.

Still, so far, I have compressed all the DLLs found anywhere within the inkscape folder tree, plus inkscape.exe and inkview.exe - not yet bothered with python.exe or other files - and the app works fine.

Accomplice

This is an application to manage your to-dos, goals, and notes. The program already comes in two versions, both Freeware. A PC version and a U3 version.

I am currently using the U3 version but would like to get rid of the U3 functionality from my USB drive. This is the only program holding me back from doing this.

On the Accomplice website they do give instructions on how to install the PC version on a non-U3 USB drive. I just don't know if this makes it truly 'portable'.
