Thanks for posting all these, saved me decades of finding them on my own. I agree with the top comment, ghostzilla is amazing and I'm running off it right now.

I usually get it from softpedia.com. Not exactly designed as a portable app, but it runs as a stand-alone tool without need for installation. Dial-a-Fix

If you have a copy of the app and the license allows it, please post a copy on your server so the rest of us can benefit. Thanks for a great list of useful apps. There are several sites that have tremendous lists of portable apps (tinyapps.org, no-install.com, etc.). Depending on your needs, there are many that are very helpful to have on your thumbdrive. I personally like a copy of Perl installed there (portable xamp or other sources) and I use quite a few of the GNU Win32 tools (all portable by definition). One hint that I find useful, I use a lot of command line tools so I have a batch file in the root of my thumb drive that appends the executable directories on my thumb drive to the path. I've included that below for those who are interested ... ---------------------------- rem Setup DOS path to access thumb drive programs @if '%1' == '' goto Usage set PATH=%PATH%;%1\public;%1\GnuWin32\bin;%1\PortableApps;%1\xampp\xampplite\perl\bin @goto done :Usage @echo Usage: %0 drive_letter: :done --------------------- Obviously you will have to change the PATH= statement to fit your configuration. Usage is simply "thumbpath i:" where you replace "i:" with the drive letter that your thumbdrive gets assigned.

One hint that I find useful, I use a lot of command line tools so I have a batch file in the root of my thumb drive that appends the executable directories on my thumb drive to the path. I’ve included that below for those who are interested …

—————————-
rem Setup DOS path to access thumb drive programs
@if ‘%1′ == ” goto Usage

set PATH=%PATH%;%1\public;%1\GnuWin32\bin;%1\PortableApps;%1\xampp\xampplite\perl\bin

@goto done

:Usage
@echo Usage: %0 drive_letter:

:done
———————

Obviously you will have to change the PATH= statement to fit your configuration.

Usage is simply “thumbpath i:” where you replace “i:” with the drive letter that your thumbdrive gets assigned.

Thanks,

- James
