October 3, 200421 yr The only Requirement is that It has to be able to be run without installing anything, You should just be able to put it on a flash drive and run it without installingSome of my Favorites Are1) Adaware2) Norton Windoc and Disk Doctor3) Trend Micro Antivirus ScannerI am looking to fill my flash drive with Great Programs to run on XP machines to increase speed and productivity , But these are Customers machines and I would rather not have to Install , Run , Uninstall ..these programsRob

October 3, 200421 yr @moo i dont think u understood what he meant by standalone, meaning they dont have 2 read/write 2 the registry 2 work but for me its:opera (everything is done via config files)xplodenlite (requires .net tho)adawarenotepad2nod32 (u can use just the .exe & the database 2 run "nod32.exe" )
October 3, 200421 yr Moo named some of the best. No need to repeat them. One other one I use a lot is NTREGOPT. Its a freeware registry defrager and even has decent command line support. I originally found this over at Softpedia.
October 3, 200421 yr Author Well here is some that I use:*Firefox*SequoiaViewAida32 RegSupremeStingerxpantispyregshotsisoftwarecwshredderidsuitehdtunenerocd and dvd speed hd speednero infotoolpowerquest driveimageghostcommtestdefragNTReally Firefox can be installed on to a USB Flash Drive and ran from any computer ? You are telling me it has no ties into the registry ? thats awesome if i can just copy my Firefox Folder to my Flash drive
October 3, 200421 yr Firefox doesn't require registry entries to run. However, it does require them if you want it to be registered as the default browser and if you want plugin installers to recognize it as installed.
October 3, 200421 yr same as opera.. only reg entries for opera i believe are if u want it as default browser
October 3, 200421 yr Office97 can run straight off the CD - install it, and copy the installed folder to CD. Good for those times when you need it, but don't want to bother wasting time on installing it.But its not freeware - so keep that in mind!*please post in correct section - thread moved.
October 3, 200421 yr You should check out the PE forums (both here and at the CD Forum) Almost anything can be persuaded to run "stand alone".
October 3, 200421 yr It depends for what purpose... I do use a ton of "standalone apps" like that (that I just "install" by putting in $OEM$\$Progs and adding a shortcut to them) yet none of them have been mentionned so far.. Like <SparTacuS> mentionned, the list could be very, very long.a couple of them on top of my head:winhttrackputtymirczoom playeravipreviewradlight filter managergraphedit... (TONS more I'm sure)
October 4, 200421 yr I miss the ultimate file-management tool Total Commander.For free (shareware) download @ http://www.ghisler.com/
October 5, 200421 yr try the zapgrab2.. very handy utility to get screenshots.. and its only 24.5kb exe file.
