hey a good website that sometimes puts new programs is http://www.portableapps.com (creative name eh) they have pretty good apps and also another program that i use is clean up it deletes temporary internet files and things of that sort (clean up isn’t really considered a portable app but it is easy to move to a flash drive) also flv player (another creative name) is a flv (video only) player that can be put in a flash drive similarly to clean up

Actually I do and I just used SIW without any issues. If you have a problem you should contact Topala Software Solutions who makes SIW. http://www.gtopala.com/tss/contact-us.html

I would suggest Process Monitor to be added(it’s part of the sysinternals suite like ProcessExplorer). It watches what’s going on with your computer, you can see what processes access what. It’s more useful for an admin working with domain users. Great for locating what may need permissions changed to run a program or just seeing all what a process gets into. TIP: Make sure you use the filter.

Great list of nice tool. One problem most of technical guy face is finding and installing hardware drivers on new system. Most of the audit tools only detect and give details only after drivers has been installed-they simply read the existing driver information for your hardware. Please let me know if there is any tools which can be installed on system with no hardware (or system with hardware driver) problem and it will find and tell what driver to install and if possible URL links where to get them, if case if you have no driver system CD.

really, im surprised to see two things missing from this list I use on almost every other job, Malwarebytes and AdvancedWindowsCare. Even though they are not as “portable” almost every “virus” removal I do, I use at least one of those two programs. Maybe it is because they require local installation, but seriously any tech with a flash drive should have these two installs with them at all times.
