Portable Apps

Date April 2nd, 2009

I recently purchased a small funky rubber USB flash drive from Integral with a view to making it a platform for storing portable applications, i.e., applications that can be executed directly from the drive without installing anything on the host machine. This is especially useful for anti-malware and browser or email apps.

Here’s a few select entries from current list:

  • Microsoft Office 2007
  • CDex
  • Defraggler
  • DriverScanner
  • DVD Decrypter
  • DVD Shrink
  • Everest Ultimate
  • Filezilla
  • Google Chrome
  • HDInspector
  • ImgBurn
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Mozilla Thunderbird
  • Notepad++
  • ProcessExplorer
  • Spybot – Search & Destroy
  • TuneUp Utilities 2009
  • UltraISO
  • VLC Media Player

Anyway, I obtained most of these apps from this site.

I’ve also made the drive bootable with ntpasswd, the Offline NT Password and Registry Editor.

Trackback this entry.

I also use True Crypt to encrypt my flash drives , keeps them nice and safe from prying eyes.
