Userfriendly's favorites (104)

Sorry, I missed that.

Ah, my db changes were stupid again! Do I understand it correctly NOW: v1.86 is actually the last portable one? Then we probably should have that version with the softpedia link above in the db.

I've used this for years now but recently it's started crashing without notice on my Win7x64 machine. I'm actively looking for alternatives.

I dropped Notepad++ in favor of this one. Notepad++ is rapidly turning into bloatware. Notepad2 does not need plugins for its features, and so it is faster and much more compact, while still full of useful features.

Someone mentioned AkelPad. Some of its plugins don't work too well, and the syntax highlighting of HTML files isn't nearly as good as that of Notepad2.

There's now a x64 build of Notepad2. But can someone please explain to me how to get the "Open shell links" feature, so strings like www.someurl.com or adress@server.net will launch when clicked in Notepad2?

I've tried them all over the years, including the modded version, but keep coming back to Flo's original. Small; fast; no distractions. Other notepad replacements often have too many options. The only thing I would add is a tabbed interface, but it's not a deal-breaker. Using the built-in Favourites and coupled with Flo's own metapath (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1701), it's almost perfect for the way I work.

I'm still with HJ-Split v1.4 (for Windows 95!), but never had any problem with it in my XP Pro SP3...

Download link is broken. http://web.archive.org/web/20190512105428/http://www.freebytesoftware.com/download/hjsplit.zip works.

Softpedia has a working download link:

Of course these are minor nitpicks and do not decimate the value of the application. If recovering your files are a life and death situation than this should be the last thing on your mind.

DO NOT USE - Total waste of $40 - customer service offensive after I could not get their program to work. I kid you not!

Honestly, when you accidentally delete something important off from your memory card or hard drive, the best solution to take them all back is to copy them back from your prepare drive or card data backups. Therefore, making data backups is really important.
But, if you also unfortunately forget to save data backups on other places, data recovery software is really workable when the previous data is not overwritten by anything new.

@so-called Numanoid - http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4719

@webfork Someone ought to change at portablefreeware.com/faq.php#extract the "Universal Extractor" Link to the updated fork UniExtract2

@betsaida: I have changed the link to point to the forum topic instead.

Download links: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikkhokkho/files/GreatNews/

Both download link and website url are 404.

@hamasaki: I retested both today and they seem to be working fine. Hopefully it was just a brief outage

I would recommend Sizer - http://www.brianapps.net/sizer.html - over this one.

There's a reason some program windows aren't re-sizable. You have to add code to resize the GUI controls properly otherwise the controls will get all mangled up. this would be useful for really horribly designed windows. (where text cuts off, and you have to vertical scroll)

@mark, some of us were lucky enough to buy and install vista, before win7 came out.

sounded useful for the reason i was looking for it in the first : the resizing of firefox's annoyingly small description box in bookmark properties window..what happened there was it resized alright, smaller. and when 'bigger' the dialog boxes stayed as were, just extra blank space. and yes, the readme does say it reads for last config. i suppose only when the program is on.
if anyone else has a solution to my problem, please tell =D

thank you for reading and sorry to bother you.

Used this program to successfully extract keys from an older backup of the Registry hive files. Followed an online guide which recommended it since it automatically tweaks the exported key file with the correct path for importing into the registry.

Link dead program no longer listed on website

Update it's found on the directory page for old software:

I confirm that this link gives good portable version 2.4
http://www.lupopensuite.com/db/easyduplicatefinder.htm

I totally detest as thoroughly non-portable
www.winaddons.com/easy-duplicate-finder-241/
This insists upon adding its own Start Menu folder with 4 links from the system to itself,
and adds itself to "Programs and Features" as an item that can be uninstalled.
It may well use the registry - I just have not inspected that because what I have seen so far is horrendous.

This tool is no longer free.
