Pixia is a powerful raster graphics editor with a unique user interface. It includes various photo filters, brushes, layers, text and broad file format support. Note that the program has a fairly unique interface so, when learning Pixia, it's easier to discard everything you know about other editors like Photoshop or Paintshop and start from scratch with the tutorials and help files.

Webfork is correct, there is a portable version. Worked fine for me on XP. I also like the knockoff of it called Pinta available for Linux. It's not full-featured yet, but it certainly works.

Great tool, but here is another one doing the same job: |
WebBrowserPassView is a password recovery tool that reveals the passwords stored by Internet Explorer, Firefox-based and Chromium-based Web browsers. This tool can be used to recover your lost/forgotten password of any website, including popular Web sites, like Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and GMail, as long as the password is stored by your Web Browser.
Currently, WebBrowserPassView cannot retrieve the passwords if they are encrypted with a master password.
To work with Chrome and Opera portable versions, go to 'options' and set the location of the portable browser folder. Select the user data folder in Chrome, and wand.dat for Opera. (Thanks to user "deer".)

ConfigureDefender is an interface for viewing and modifying various Windows Defender settings. Individual settings can be configured or you can select from one of three pre-defined protection levels: DEFAULT, HIGH, INTERACTIVE, and MAX. You can also block a variety of native Microsoft tools and reduce Defender resource usage on low-end systems.
Note that changing one of the protection levels requires a reboot in order to take effect.
Although you can make these changes yourself via the native group policy editor and Windows registry, this program collects them all in one place.

AutoIt is a BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks or perform user interface testing.
Users new to the program are encouraged to read an introduction (thanks guinness.)
Note: the outdated (from 2012) AutoIt Portable allows you to create a portable environment of SciTE4AutoIt3 and AutoIt together, as well as cleaning AppData and opening the program editor with sample scripts (also thanks to guinness).
A 64 bit version is available (within the folder).

Stealth: ? | No. Every time one compiles a script (at least through SciTE=>Tools=>Build) it creates the folder %LocalAppData%\AutoIt v3\ (specifically %LocalAppData%\AutoIt v3\Aut2exe) for temp files. But since the files are temporary (only existing during compilation) the folder is at least usually empty. See bug report. You might want to run SciTE through a Program Portabilizer set to delete the aforementioned folder upon exit. |

I like(d) CLCL a lot, but on Windows 8/64bit it has a bug for me. I'd set it up to show 19 items in the menu so that the letter 't' is the shortcut for templates menu, unfortunately it doesn't properly register the hotkey of the CLCL program I think because when I press alt-t in any program it always pops up an empty template menu (from CLCL) which shouldn't happen because it not a global hotkey.

In addition AutoText monitors the clipboard and saves the last X text entries of the clipboard, which can then be retrieved as well.
