It is not stealth, it adds an uninstall entry and a pile of registry keys.

KeyNote NF is a tabbed notebook that is particularly suitable for writing and organizing free-form information, especially those that fit naturally within a tree-based structure, such as lists or outlines. It supports rich text and images, multi-level notes and strong encryption. A search function quickly locates information you are looking for. Notes can also be securely encrypted using IDEA or Blowfish.
KeyNote NF is a fork of the original early 2000s' open-source Keynote, which is no longer being developed. It adds many new features, including check boxes on children of selected nodes, hidden nodes, alarms on nodes, better treatment of tables, improved treatment of links, multi-language support, automatic compression, etc.

I love this program. Glad someone picked it and started updating it again, if only so it remains running on future hardware and OSes.

Is the description of "How to extract" still valid? I ask because a lot has changed with the structure of directories and files.

@dmocha: I just downloaded the ZIP file for v9.0.1, and it seems the file/dir structure is still pretty much the same, so the extraction instruction should still be valid. Could you provide details on the diffs that you are seeing?

@Andrew Lee: I have no objections. I'm just asking. I remember that quite a long time ago new folders and files arrived, and the procedure is still the same. That's why I'm wondering if it's up to date with these files. |

64 bit system: save 181 MB by deleting firefox folder, and renaming firefox64 to firefox. Beta, standard, and ESR work fine. |
AutoRun LWMenu is a control menu that can launch applications, URLs, system commands, etc.
It's not only portable itself, but acts as a portabilizer so the launched apps will become portable too. In fact, it can back up and restore whole registry values/folders/files of the programs it launches (or just use symlinks to run folders/files portably), including a simulator to test everything.

If you understand the program well, you can create portable software that leaves no traces in the system. |
Volumouse allows you to control a several system settings with the scroll wheel of your mouse including volume, screen brightness, window transparency, and more. These can be attached to certain events such as when a specific application is in focus or when the mouse is in a certain position (over the taskbar, on the side of the screen, etc.)
The program also allows you to restrict the wheel action to a set of rules for determining when it can changesettings. You can for example use your right mouse wheel, alt/ctrl key, etc. Volume settings for microphone, speakers, and default recording can be attached to any different combination of these.

So lucky to have this. My Lenovo machine has poor volume control buttons that frequently ignore input depending on what application is in focus. Volumouse meanwhile doesn't care: I have the left button + scroll wheel mapped to slowing increasing/decreasing the sound and the right button + scroll wheel mapped to mute and un-mute. Just excellent.

Despite being very handy Volumouse lacks very important feature for me - preset volume levels. I need 11 of them - 1 (100%), 1/2 (50%), 1/2^2 (25%), ..., 1/2^9 (0.195%) and 0. Now I found Volume2. Don't sure whether it can be completely registry-stealth or not (uses HKCU/Run for autorun), at least it saves Config.ini to its folder. |
WinScan2PDF is a very small program for scanning documents and saving them on your computer as a PDF by using any installed scanner.

@Emka - The first item under OPTIONS look like you can set the utility to delete the jpgs when you exit the program. I have never been very sure the program actually does what it says, so I simply use the second item in OPTIONS to check and delete as necessary. Periodically I use the jpg instead the pdf so I actually find this useful. Bottom line is that I wish the author would clean all this up a bit more, but I find the utility so useful (use it every day almost) that I am prepared to work around the idiosyncrasies.

@MIKLO & _philippe: It now seems possible to select a folder for temporary files, so you can change the default location in AppData to the app's folder for example. |
FocusWriter is a full-screen word processor that aims for a distraction-free, immersive way to write and edit. The minimalist interface puts options and tools on the edge of the screen and auto-saves progress. Upon relaunch, the program reloads your last file to make make it easy to jump back into your work.
Alternatively, FocusWriter Portable is stealth and automatically adjusts paths.
