Does exactly what it says, simple, and works great. Tested on Vista SP1.
Thanks for the post :)

AcroPAD

Here's hoping Adobe does appreciate charitably the cunning twist on their own Acrobatâ„¢ byname...;-)

So I cannot even download this app :(

Anybody else experienced the same? Any mirror? I really would like to download and try it... Surely a false positive!

You are stammering Monsieur.

@spicydog: ESET has long detected one of the installers on that site (dssfv_setup.exe) as a virus. I have notified them on a number of occasions that it is a false positive (based on scans of that file from Jotti's, VirSCAN.org and VirusTotal), but with no result. It would seem as though they have now blocked the entire domain. All you can do is to lodge a job with ESET support. The website hasn't been updated in a long time, but if the webmaster was still around, if you could get them to lodge a job as well, that would help.

(I no longer use ESET myself so the problem no longer affects me)

Bricks2000 v1.1

webfork on 17 Feb 2020
  • 552KB (uncompressed)

Bricks2000 is a tetris clone. Throughout the game, various types of "bricks" fall from the top to the bottom of the playing area. When the bricks form a solid row of blocks across the playing area, that row vanishes.

I have this game, and.. it's remarkably bad for a tetris clone. It crashes on occasion, and if your keyboard timing is just right (or wrong) weird glitches happen.

Don' get this.

GrahamG on 2009-10-08 15:21

I agree with Erik. On Windows Vista Home Premium this did not run well. Kept crashing and generally misbehavin'.

Virtual Drives Manager v1.0b

webfork on 12 Nov 2020
  • 213KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

Virtual Drives Manager is a tool for defining virtual drives in your filesystem. Virtual drives are symbolic links that points to existing directories on your filesystem. This is essentially a graphical version of subst.exe.

Note: This application periodically tries to contact www.appcontrols.com. If you are using a personal firewall, you can simply block it from accessing the network. But if you are really fussy about such things, then you might not want to use the program at all.

Category:
Runs on:Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP
Writes settings to: Windows registry, but does not affect the portability of the application.
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch VirtualDrives.exe.

Another way of solving the above "phoning home" issue is to edit you 'hosts' file and point www.appcontrols.com to 127.0.0.1 -- be forewarned though that, should you do this, you won't be able to open the webpage without reversing the edit...

I still use this program all the time. It crashes hard if you have "Auto-save the log after 1000 lines" enabled. I just went looking for an update. There are none. It seems to be a one off because I couldn't find anything recent from Kristen Tande, who made this and Microburner. Some developer profiles here and there; that's it. Site is long gone. Unique and useful and quite portable. Stores settings in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SILENTNIGHT] or copy/paste.

looks like the website is dead.

Dev has a (sloppy coded) site at www.easy-data.no, but no mention of Inspector.

The source previously mentioned by gamuron (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=107#comment7164) is also unavailable.

Advanced LAN Pump v2.32

lwc on 30 Dec 2022
  • 1002KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 3 Apr 2006
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

Advanced LAN Pump lets you send files over the network with pause/restart options, automatic error recovery, even a queue for sending a list of files. Great for copying lots of data, particularly over WiFi networks, where the standard Windows copy function is just not robust enough to deal with intermittent network interference and failures.

Note: This program has gone payware. Last available freeware version available via the download link.

serginh0, I agree with you- KillCopy is a great app! I wouldn't want it to be completely portable though. It attaches itself to the right click context menu which is its greatest asset. That allows it to NOT run in memory like the others on this site.

I have found it available in version 2.31 at http://www.ldmstudio.com/go/free.php?id=74

Onesimus Prime on 2010-07-06 04:58

The homepage is now http://www.softsolo.com/, but at almost $40 for the current version (3.1), it's DEFINITELY not freeware anymore!

I dont think this is real freeware. On their website it says "free trial".

Jon on 2006-12-15 11:26

HD Speed, which you can get at http://www.steelbytes.com IS actual freeware.

Andrew Lee on 2006-12-18 04:51

They must have changed the license recently. I just added a direct download link for the last free version that I have.
