@Midas, yeah i'm using Microbin but i think fullbug is referring to the other.

fullbug on 2015-01-11 15:45

Yeas, my mistake, was referring to Minibin, oops....

If you just want the recycle bin in the systray area on your main PC, then another way is to add it via quick launch. Right-click taskbar, toolbars, add ... %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch ... Unlock taskbar, untick show text/titles, tick large icons under view, lock taskbar. You can now drag items to this and they'll be added to the RB; right-click lets you empty it, and of course clicking it will open it.

Then you're free to remove that damned icon from the desktop. I know this isn't portable and of course it doesn't have the extra functions, but again, this is just if you want it in your tray on your main PC.

@ misan: If you klick on the little "?"-icon behind "Stealth" ...

What makes an application "stealth"?

For the purpose for this website, "stealth" means when an application is launched, used and terminated properly, it does not leave behind any entries in the registry or filesystem. Certain exceptions are permitted. For example, registry entries that are created/updated by Windows for the application (eg. MRU entries for dialog boxes, DirectX entries for DirectX-based apps), or temp files created in the official "Temp" folders are not taken into consideration. Note: "Stealth" does not mean non-traceability! In fact, it is quite unlikely you can hide your activities on a Windows machine from a capable system administrator.

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.

JauntePE downloaded, just want to try it) I am a fan of portable apps!!!
I have experience Molbox, but this is no longer supported. Then he switched to Boxedapp. These programs are very cool!

Confirmed. Thanks outskirter.

outskirter on 2012-02-12 00:03

You're welcome, Guinness. I've just sent a review to Softpedia, including a heads-up to the site's administration about the bad download file.

DuoExplorer was *almost* my choice for basic file management in two panes. I don't mind the lack of extra features, as I was looking for a minimalistic dual-pane file manager. Nevertheless, for me it has two drawbacks: It doesn't save the details-view column widths to its .INI file, and there's no option for vertical pane orientation -- they're strictly horizontal. Another thing: If I use list view in both panes, when restarting the app it remembers that setting for the active pane only. The inactive pane reverts to details view. There is no Settings menu, and editing the .INI file doesn't help.

outskirter on 2012-02-15 16:17

Final note on DuoExplorer: Softpedia has now fixed the download file. It's now a proper Zip archive containing DuoExplorer.exe. That's the only file you need; the app writes the necessary config files in its own application folder.

This is very handy when dedicated to a process you do often-emailing pictures for instance.I have FastStone too (which is great) but with Fast Image Resizer you can just drag a picture onto its desktop shortcut.If you want,it'll clean off the exif data too.

EjectUSB is a tool for quickly closing apps running from a USB drive and ejecting the drive from safe removal. It will automatically close all programs running from the drive EjectUSB was run from (host drive), close any explorer windows open to the host drive, remove Windows MUI and MRU entries and recent document shortcuts related to the host drive, and attempt to eject the host drive when done. It can also interface with various utilities to aid in drive ejection.

Alternatively, the program can be run from your hard drive as a tool to restore a computer to its post-boot state. If you have 10-20 windows open, this will quickly and easily close them all, akin to pressing a reset button for your desktop.

One of the best in this category, but it does not support unicode.

ed on 2007-09-01 04:51

I have been using ClipSecure for over a year now, and I love it. I use it for my emails with my family and to secure my confidential documents on my portable USB dive when I travel. I keep a copy on the drive and load it onto any computer I use at any net cafe. I am not a sophisticated user, and it is very convenient and user friendly for me.
