QuickWayToFolders v1.3.11

Andrew Lee on 8 Sep 2023
  • 2MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 4 Sep 2023
  • Suggested by crownixx

QuickWayToFolders provides quick and easy access to a folder on your computer via a taskbar icon. The program window disappears when you click outside the window. Display modes include:

  • Desktop: Act like a mini-desktop, with small icons
  • Small Browser: very similar to Windows explorer in "details" view
  • Menu: Display folder content in a menu
  • Multiple Folders Menu: Display multiple folders content in a single menu (note that you must manually add them or nothing will appear when you click the icon)
In the "Menu" and "Multiple Folders Menu" settings, the program can act like a Program Launcher. Multiple instances of the program can be run with customizable icons and each entry is added to the taskbar.

To use the program as a root folder of a portable folder choose Options - Local path, then use a forward slash: "\". To set an image as a background place it in the application folder and set path as "image name.jpg" etc.

Thanks, those are interesting apps. I really find ShortPopUp especially useful.

Better trust the executable. Softpedia also corrected the version number:

CloseAll v3.1 Private

webfork on 21 Nov 2019
  • 2MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 15 Jun 2018
  • Suggested by crownixx

CloseAll (aka Close All Windows) helps you to quickly close all running applications. The program brings up a window with running applications, lets you select apps you want to close (by default all apps are checked) and click OK. CloseAll functions just as if you were pressing the close button for each running app, bringing prompts about closing a program as normal (e.g. "Do you want to save before closing").

The program is ideal for moving from one application set to another such as from photo edition to office work or video production.

NOTE: Program became shareware, linking to Archive.org for the last freeware version

Checker on 15 Sep 2014
  • 6MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on

Quick Config is a powerful and convenient tool aimed at saving or changing various settings to a custom profile. This is useful for resetting any changes to a single computer or for multiple computers that all need to have similar network, sound, or video options. The program will work as a very basic backup system for listed system settings (saved to its own XML file) that can then restore a machine or be transferred to another computer.

Available changes include setting local and network shares printers, sound scheme and volume, registry entries, services, run specific programs, change browser and email defaults. Changes can be applied in part (on each section select "apply now") or in whole (from the main window).

Wow!
This Tool is perfect for Laptop Users!
Much better and a lot more options than NetSetMan!!

Bruno on 2010-05-27 08:37

Nice application but it doesn't support dual screen or extended screen display. At work I work with TWO screens, at home only with my laptop screen. This is the most important feature for me and it is unavailable :-(

Ben on 2010-10-05 12:58

This program has a ton of possible uses: quickly viewing workstation settings, copying static network settings for operating system reinstallation, quick application of network drive mappings for application installations...thanks for this!

Anyone know what has changed?

Additional features include tools for resizing, displaying windows in cascade or mosaic views, and making a window remain on top, and more.

Created using AutoHotkey.

I've been meaning to try this just so I can emulate the AeroSnap feature from Windows 7 on Windows XP.

shnbwmn on 2016-01-08 00:11

This program is amazing. It's the only one I've found so far that actually let's you define a GRID as opposed to merely snapping windows to borders or resizing windows in increments.

freakazoid on 2016-05-11 04:27

So I finally had a chance to test this app.

It takes a tiny bit of effort to learn how to set up grids, but once you have them set up, GridMove really sings. Memory usage is around 2.6 MB RAM.

I'm going to use this in place of Sizer.

Seems like this doesn't work any more in Windows 10. Although apps portablised using it in previous versions of Windows still seem to work OK.

I have experience Molbox, but this is no longer supported. Then he switched to Boxedapp. These programs are very cool!

mikogo-portable.exe v3.0.x is not stealth: entries are created in the registry and folders are created in the user's docs and app data. In addition, this version seems to be outdated (authentication fails). The newest version is probably required.

v4 is out, but is this still freeware?
