I could have sworn I installed MiniBin correctly for portable use, however months later I saw it created a Start Menu folder. Nothing in the registry, however so it could just be a mistake on my end.

MiniBin is a very handy tiny tool but there is even a tinier one by the same developer - MicroBin - Truly portable and only 4 KB- http://www.e-sushi.net/201308291431/

Mike @e-Sushi:

I like the changes in MiniBin 6.1.01, but
I would like to know how to define full, 75% 50% and 25%.
It's possible to change the settings?
I deleted a file of only 6 Mb and MiniBin went to Full!!
The settings of "full" are very low now!!
Best Regards

v6.1.0.1

Download link still resolves to http://www.e-sushi.net/MiniBin-4.0.0.2-Setup.zip (403 error) rather than to http://www.e-sushi.net/MiniBin-6.1.0.1-Setup.zip

New Version 4.0.0.2 don't have Themes menu.
Now only you can place 2 icon in the root folder
empty.ico and full.ico. (50% and 75% full icons are missing).
This is a step back.

V4.0.0.2

Gmacri 2012-03-12 10:46

I would like, in the next update, to change the language, from the configure options. Also an hiperlink to the web page would be great. I love this program.

As posted before, it would be nice to see a changelog... I keep seeing new versions popping up but I ask myself what is changing in MiniBin.... Anybody knows?

@ChemZ

Updated.

ChemZ 2011-12-26 17:05

Is it just me, or does the extract instructions don't quite work right?

Don't see an {app} folder no more... not sure how to update this one.

Very useful for people who use alternative shells with no desktop (eg. Geoshell), and yes... I'm on XP

@Magibon: "only for XP"??? On what planet?

Geez, even Steve Gibson loves it... and trust me, you're the only one thinking a systray icon can be replaced by a sidabar gadget!

Oh wait... just discovered you're using this comment area to spam it with your own software. Pffft... lame!

V1.9.4.0

Magibon 2011-03-23 22:52

Sorry to say, but this is only useful for XP.

For Windows Vista and Windows 7: a better alternative is "Computer Status", a robust sidebar gadget.

F.Y.I
I am using Version 2, in the screenshot, it has the option to remove options not used.
