V-Grep (Visual Grep) is designed to perform global search-and-replace operations on multiple text files with great speed. The search pattern can be either a plain text string or a regular expression, so very complex patterns can be specified. V-Grep supports all regular expressions operators in the PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) standard.

Tried it, but I'll stick with Yo-Grep - this program can't even get the line numbers right (it calls the first line of a file, line 0) |
Uninstall Tool is a small and fast utility that performs software uninstallation like the slow and bloated "Add and Remove Programs" applet. It includes a number of nifty features missing from the standard applet, such as display hidden installed programs, calculate how much disk space a program occupies, search by typing known letters of the program's name, deletion of entry if uninstaller is unavailable or fails to run etc.
Note: Starting from V2.x, Uninstall Tool has gone payware. As such, I have included a direct download link for the last freeware version that I have.

BartPE enables you to create a self-contained version of Windows on CD/DVD that runs "live" from the CDROM. It includes full network support and read/write access to NTFS volumes, which is great for diagnostic or troubleshooting purposes. It also includes a good number of built-in apps, and many more can be added via the plugin mechanism.
Note: You need the original Windows Installation CDROM in order to build the "live" CD.

I finally decided to give BartPE a try so that I could make a bootable Ghost 8 CD, but when I would go to boot the finished CD, the damn thing would freeze at the "please wait" bar every time.

Well, I decided to try one more thing before giving up on BartPE. |
CryptNote is a basic secure text editor that transparently encrypts/decrypts text with a password.
Similar in design to Windows Notepad and uses the AES/Rijndael encryption algorithm.

A nice small prog that I used with pleasure, but now I replaced it with TaskbarShuffle, which also allows for drag&drop: http://portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=6031#6031 |
Racer is a car simulation project using professional car physics papers to achieve a realistic feel. Cars, tracks and such can be created quite easily. Editors and support programs are also available to get a very customizable and expandable simulator.
Note: Racer requires ATi or nVidia graphics card as well as DirectX 8 and above to function properly.

ArtRage is a painting package that features numerous realistic painting tools in a simple, intuitive environment. ArtRage lets you paint your own picture from a blank canvas, or load an image to 'trace' using any of its painting tools, letting you recreate your own images as painting.
Note: ArtRage no longer appears to be portable. The settings are written to the user profile folder instead of the application folder. Therefore I am freezing the portable version at V1.1 until further development.

Writes settings to: | None. Actually it writes a single entry to the Windows registry the first time it is run so that the introductory screen will not appear again the next time, but that hardly counts as a setting. |

I wish this was open source, so that I could get it up to date with win7 and 64bit. I only got 0.1 alpha to work with, but that's a huge step away from 0.4...

EVEREST Home Edition is a system information, system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for home PC users. It offers memory benchmarks, hardware monitoring, and low-level hardware information. The Home Edition will not run on machines connected to a domain. For those, you will need to buy the Professional Edition.
Note: EVEREST has gone totally commercial from 1 Dec 2005, so you will no longer be able to download the Home Edition from their website. The last free version is V2.20, which I have provided a local mirror for. Thanks for P J for alerting me to this.
