PuTTY Tray is much nicer fork. It's portable, supports clickable urls etc.

KiTTY's got a lot of great features crammed into it.
Portability alone makes it a significant improvement over PuTTY. The tray-based session/shared-key manager is neat too.
Admittedly some of the features turn up in odd places because KiTTY's a collection of patches that have to fit into the original interface. But it's a good app.

You can always check the source code on the download page and compile it yourself. Then again even good coders can make big mistakes in security software like the Debian debacle.

Sometime after 60.65.26 (which I really liked), the devs changed the portability setting (for the worse IMO).
[KiTTY]
savemode=dir
Now each session, stored command, and hostkey gets its own file, with settings and values delimited with slashes rather than an equals sign.
The savemode=file (everything in kitty.sav) option is no longer valid.

I exchanged emails with the author. It still works.
savemode=file by itself saves to Docs&Settings\...\AppData.
sav=kitty.sav puts that in kitty's dir instead.
Now here's the big difference.
savemode=file imports everything into the registry on startup and clears the registry when closing.
savemode=dir stealthily saves/loads a bunch of config files under kitty's dir.
And the reason those new configs aren't ini's is because his ini code can't handle large files.

FWIW, KiTTY is checked by softpedia and they say it's malware free:

portableapps.com has an origianl putty implementation that works too. Yes, kitty has a few new bells and whistles added, maybe cute, but they really don't add much value for me. And not that I use it often, but taking the Help button off the form so there is no way to access help from the application seems foolish to me, not that a help file is even included anyway, but if somebody is going to fork the source, when everything is available for free anyway, why not keep the help button and help file and add to it rather than simply get rid of it?
