Folderico v3.7.2

webfork on 16 Jan 2019
  • 4MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 4 Jan 2007
  • Suggested by crownixx

Folderico allows you to change the default icon of any folder. It performs this feat by creating a desktop.ini file in the chosen folder that points to the desired icon (also automatically created) so that Windows Explorer will render the folder icon differently. Folderico does not need to be running for the new folder icon to be displayed, and the changes are sticky even when the hard disk or memory stick is plugged into another machine.

Pendrive on 2021-08-14 18:49

"Taskbar Control allows hiding/un-hiding the taskbar, including the 1 pixel line"? Really, is that right? It doesn't hide that 1-pixel line for me.
Does it actually do that for anyone else and, if not, why is that assertion here? Also, if it cannot, where is a program that can do that?

SeqDownload downloads an image file on a time scale you set to your local drive. Although this is primarily for "live" images updated frequently on the internet, it can also be used for other types of files.

With this, you can easily create a beautiful animation from the downloaded images or simply watch the historical images on your local download folder. On non-image files, you can make sure you always have the very latest file.

i like this download manager because this needs no serial number

freakazoid on 2012-01-22 23:52

This is actually a pretty neat download manager for its size. I removed a lot of the columns to make it more like a download manager and less like a timed download app.

A good backup when I'm not using Opera or Firefox with DownThemAll.

Note: Command-line options are available to give you more control over timing of the launches and the ability to create multiple lists and specify which you would like to use. To launch files with command line parameters, create a shortcut with the parameters set, and use the path to the shortcut file (.lnk) in the list, instead of a direct path to the application.

Been using this app for a few years and it's great. I work part time at 3 different jobs and have a list created for each office. Run the appropriate command line first thing in the morning and all the programs/files I need for the day are loaded and ready to go.

Joe on 2015-02-02 14:35

A good simple alternative to Splat if you are only interested in launching programs.

You can create separate lists for programs you want to launch together, e.g. one for office work, one for graphic design, etc, etc. You can create a list of all your favorite programs and make them start with Windows. Does not remain open or resident in memory once all programs are launched.

Altogether a very useful program.

Tested and works in Windows 8.1 x64 too.

TP109 on 2015-11-17 01:33

Very useful and simple tool for launching programs, opening folders, URLs, etc. with a shortcut. Launch lists use a text file so it's super easy to modify lists quickly and easily with the default txt editor.

KeyTweak is a simple utility that allows users to redefine their keyboard input signals by modifying the Windows registry. It can revert your layout to the default settings as well as warn you of some potentially dangerous modifications before they are put into effect.

Possible uses for this program (from the author): "Maybe you have an old keyboard and you really miss having a "Windows" key. Maybe you are used to using a different keyboard and you keep hitting the wrong key. Maybe you know that you are going to be doing a lot of numerical data entry and would like to change your Num Pad + key into a Tab key for a little while. How about changing Scroll Lock into a Mute button?"

Have been using this little app for years. Works under Win 8 as well as long as it's launched with 'Run as administrator'.

For some reason it doesn't display the keys in the same order as they appear on my actual keyboard, however the keys are still easy to remap.

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.

WizMouse is a lightweight program that lets your mouse wheel scroll the window under the pointer, even if the window doesn't have input focus. Normal behavior requires clicking on a window to activate it before you can scroll it with your mouse wheel.

The program can optionally enable the mouse wheel in applications that don't support it by converting mouse wheel messages to scroll bar messages.

Other options include "reverse mouse scrolling" (like "natural scrolling" on Mac OS X Lion), and bringing the scrolling window to the foreground.

Bvckup 2 v68 (beta)

webfork on 18 Feb 2022
  • 589KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 31 Dec 2014
  • Suggested by Midas

Bvckup 2 is a backup/synchronization tool that uses "delta" copy methods, meaning it only transfers changes to a file or files rather than recopying the entire set. This is frequently faster, saves bandwidth for network backups and can help flash media live longer by reducing the overall number of disk writes. The program can do real-time, periodic or manual backups, and also functions as a file copier that can pause and resume both local and network transfers.

Note: this program is an unsupported beta, meaning that the author provides a commercial version of the program that includes support. A previous, freeware version with fewer features is available from bvckup.com.

Category:
Runs on:WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10
Writes settings to: Application folder
Unicode support: Yes
License: Freeware (unsupported beta)
How to extract:
  1. Download the program and rename to Bvckup2.exe
  2. Create an empty text file in this folder and paste in the following content:

    SET conf-dir="%~dp0Config"
    START "" bvckup2.exe -c %conf-dir%


  3. Rename the text file bvckup2-portable.bat
  4. Launch bvckup2-portable.bat
  5. Under Options - Preferences - Software updates, select "Don't check don't remind," as this program will always suggest downloading the latest version, which is not freeware.

Note: Over time that the contents of the "Config" can grow to substantial size. If it grows too large for your storage device, start a new profile and delete the old folder.

@Midas

Yeah, sure I tested it.

Trashcan? Despite being logged in, I cannot see one.

From https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7616#p29747, I quote:
'Basically if you have a non-zero rank and you are logged in, you will find a "trash can" icon at the end of every comment.'

I infer that my rank is too lowly to even be allowed to take out the trash.

If two ranked users click that trashcan icon, it will be deleted, too. I already did. :)

See all
