Neutron is small time synchronizing program that retrieves the accurate time from one of several specialized time servers on the Internet using the standard Time protocol (TCP or UDP port 37). Once the network time has been retrieved the program can synchronize your computer's clock to match it.

Great program. Place shortcut in startup folder. Check the box "exit after time has been synced". Its quick and fast no extra time on boot up.

Great program and very useful. The comment left by "just_someone" to check the time and exit works beautifully. Saves me a lot of trouble with multiple machines I work on that are off by a few minutes or hours. |
Pandora Recovery helps to recover permanently deleted files that cannot be found in the Recycle Bin. The program works with NTFS, NTFS5 and NTFS/EFS partitions. You can preview deleted files of certain type (images and text files) without performing recovery. A deep cluster scan mode is also available that is able to recover files whose MFT record has been overwritten, or when the file allocation table is missing or corrupted. In addition, Pandora Recovery supports recovery of archived, hidden, system, sparse, encrypted and compressed files, as well as ADS (Alternate Data Streams).
The program will ask you to fill up a survey upon exit when you run it for the first time, which you can skip by clicking the "Close" button.
Note: Latest version of this program is ad-supported and has not been tested for portability. A mirror for the 1.4 version has been contributed post in forums (thanks NickR).

zylstra: Sometimes the developer makes changes to their program that aren't free or portable, which we of course don't have any control over. In the case of Pandora, we tried to find a mirror or host for the old version without success.

Neither HDTune 2.53, nor HDTune Pro 3.50 ever detected the SMART parameters of my internal laptop drive (a Hitachi HTS721060G9SA00). HDDScan and CrystalDiskInfo detected them fine.

Softpedia has a portable version: |
Ifactor computes the prime factors for any given number. The program can factor large integers, but the practical limit is an integer in the trillions (15 digits). For example the number 999,999,999,999,999 will take about a minute for the program to factor. While you can enter numbers with more than 15 digits, the factorization will take a very long time.

Poweroff enables you to schedule any of the following actions: shutdown, reboot, logoff, poweroff, standby, hibernate, lock, wake-on-LAN at a certain time. It contains a built-in scheduler and allows you to run another program before doing the action, issue a warning message, or wait for a process to finish before performing the action. Command-line options are also supported.

Only if you choose Service, Create Service, I think. Some programs contains functions that are not portable eg. create file association, add shell context menu, add system service etc. It is at your discretion not to activate them if portability is important to you!

Save electricity when you know how long a download or maintinence program is going to run. You can even set the computer to shut down / standby when a given program stops running.

I use this at work to schedule MyDefrag to run at a specific time and when it's done, the computer reboots. No waiting for the defrag to finish! I love this program. |
Push the Freakin' Button (PTFB) is a button pressing utility. When you wish to automatically dismiss a dialog box, you can configure PTFB to "push" a particular button by using drag-and-drop, and it will function as instructed when the dialog box pops up the next time.
Note: This is the last freeware version of what is now a payware product.

i also use rtvreco and like it much. i agree it is far better than this one. well worth the 'payware' price. it will do much more and find more windows than ptfb will and give user more choices what to do when it recognizes a window...

It doesn't actually help how much better the other product is as this is a "freeware" listing. The name "The Portable Freeware Collection" does not indicate the use of payware does it?

RtvReco doesn't even exist anymore. gbj and Shodan are probably spammers who were trying to push the software. |
SpyMe Tools help detect changes to the filesystem and registry by taking "before" and "after" snapshots of the system. The content of these snapshots can be visually displayed or two of them can be compared for differences to determine changes. SpyMe Tools also includes a real-time registry monitor that you can use to determine the registry access characteristics of any application.

Looking at the screenshot, I'm just wondering if this is more of an Adware product than a Freeware product?

Annagramarama challanges you to find as many words as possible in the time available. Get the longest word and you'll advance to the next level. Addictive and a must for those who love word games.

This game is fine but lack of vocabulary leaves room for improvement - also a few made up words and americaninsms so if you are creative you could do very well with this. |
Regmon is a registry monitoring utility that will show you which applications are accessing your registry, which keys they are accessing, and the registry data that they are reading and writing - all in real-time. This advanced utility takes you one step beyond what static registry tools can do, to let you see and understand exactly how programs use the registry.
Note that Vista and above are encouraged to use Process Monitor.
