Have been using Metapad and then Metapad360 for 15+ years
The range of text formatting tools are amazing.
My fav is "quote" Alt+Q, which inserts your custom string at col.1 of all selected lines/paragraphs/pages. Notepad++ does a similar thing BUT not all in col.1 ... Metapad makes it much easier to spot the "quoted" lines.
I am using "'o" , without the quotes, as my quote string.

Forget to mention the "stickies" feature ...
10 shortcuts (Quick buffers) to paste your custom single line strings onto Metapad docs ...
** Settings (dlg) Buffers & Languages (tab/page)
hot keys Alt+<num> ... where <num> is (querty) 0 to 9
=OR=
selected text on saved file Metapad (config) -> Alt+Shift+<num> (ie qwerty-num)

Website is working!

@mixblooded: you should also mention that Net Barcode Reader requires the DotNET framework (as implied by its name) plus it isn't freeware.

It needs and uses Internet Explorer, which is NOT portable. I'll have a serious look at this program if it can work with my browser of choice. I am now not al interested in it.

Meant: I am now not at all interested in it

kiwichick on 2011-02-16 10:14

Latest version still says 1.12.39 in the Help / About menu. And the .exe file is exactly the same size as 1.12.39. So has it even been updated?

Sounds nice. Does it have any advantages over CCleaner?

Pax on 2010-12-23 12:56

Haven't run the application yet but it looks like a good addition. Love the documentation on the site where the author details *exactly* what's cleaned out. It's rare to see that level of documentation and it's appreciated.

Looking over the site, this app also has a ridiculously easy to use plug-in system which the author hopes will spur user contributions and increase the number of apps and registry entries covered.

This one looks like one to keep an eye on.

Game Booster v1.5.0.96 Private

  • 2MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Wolfghost

Game Booster helps optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game-play in games that use many system resources. The program defragments game directories, temporarily shuts down background processes, cleans RAM, and intensifies processor performance. That means you can keep all the features of operating systems ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious gaming.

NOTE: Program discontinued.

v3.4.0 is available, is it still portable?

Fire The Fox on 2019-10-13 14:11

It comes up with a different product.

Midas on 2019-10-14 09:53

This being an old entry that didn't get updated in a while, it seems IObit Game Booster changed it's name to Razer Game Booster, so it vanished from IObit's site and hence the redirection to another product's page.

I have no idea if Razer Game Booster remained portable, but that program webpage is at https://www.razer.com/cortex/boost (also available from Softpedia, at https://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/Game-Booster.shtml).
