Now at v.7.2

@juverax: Isn't 7.2 a beta/WIP version?

To my understanding, the last version working in XP is 7.0.0.0

I find it a good Program. Only one of its kind. You should know where your registry hives are.

I cannot find an .exe file to download. What I get is a .torrent file which universal extractor does not recognize.

@ jgermann: Scroll down to the bottom of the download page and use one of the mirror downloads (e.g. USA Rowan.edu). Klick on "HTTP".

According to the website, Portable Python is no longer being developed. It would seem that WinPython (http://winpython.github.io/) is its successor.

why doesn't the author put all the .wav files in a subfolder?

This software protects and monitors changes to your registry and system files on Windows. It has saved me lots of time and effort with foistware and other unwanted system changes made by certain programs. It offers a registry backup facility which backs up your entire registry every 28 days and retains the last 15 copies. This has also saved me when I rather over-zealously tried to remove GotoMyPC from my computer. In terms of resource usage and intrusiveness, you will barely notice it's there, especially once you have exempted certain alerts from coming up after your initial deployment. Excellent and well recommended.

There is a new version 1.2.8.8 with support for Windows 11

@Midas

There is one now.

Thanks for that, I am Baas.

'About' says it's NTFS Undelete 0.93.

I have system (Windows) on an SSD (C:), a Disk 1 Tb (Seagate) (D:), here it is the pagefile.sys. This application presents problems on both disks when it is to read and fix. On an external Seagate 1 Tb everything goes well.

Now at version 1.7

The developer states “It is quite similar to the ScanDisk tool or chkdsk.exe, supplied with the Windows operating systems”.
The obvious question then arises, why choose it over those? There doesn’t seem to be an answer to this.

Enjoy!

I've got to say that DSpeech has come a long way over the past few years. The last time I tested it the program felt like it was just a simple throwaway text reader with Microsoft voices front-end program. What I tested today had loads of features, usability, and a great interface. This contrasts a lot of other voice-to-text tools that I've been playing with, including LibreOffice and Firefox add-ons, which are fairly basic.

Very nice to see.

I'm really impressed with this program. It handles changing voices midstream (so you can create conversations) better than Balabolka (and a lot of programs can't chance voices at all.

I am having one problem: I can't get the special tags to work. The silence tag works fine, but the others appear to have no effect at all.

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you.

@rogerthedodger: I changed the license type to donationware. Is it better now?

@SYSTEM
License says it's free to use/distribute... reverting to License=Freeware. There was already a note about the limitation in the description above.

Yeah, unicode support must be one of the first features in such a app:/

Shows up as 64bit in TaskMgr and Task Manager Deluxe on Windows10 64bit

@PAFuser: DotNET apps tend to reflect the underlying OS bitness, unless instructed otherwise.

is there a way for this program to read an Outlook (not outlook express) address book listbox of type OUTEXVLB? I do not get anything at the bottom of the screen. I have tried it with around 200,000 items and with about 800 items and nothing shows up. Is it because this program does not support this particular listbox/window???

Thanks for the great tool!

v1.50 now has a drag and drop button taht you drop on the window you want to see the text from. It makes this very valuable the tool so much easier and intuitive to use. An excellent upgrade, imo.

Unfortunately, it still does not seem to handle Outexvlb type listboxes.

*Extremely* important tool for software testers. Getting lengthy error messages out of static windows is critical to helping developers understand what went wrong. If you want to help any of the makers of software on this or other sites, start with SysExporter.

The download link has been updated to the new site where Hex-Ed can be downloaded without problems.

Thanks!

81KB. I don't know why I love these small proggies so much. Anyhow, this editor works great. It is not polished, but it certainly works. Good call, AlephX.

website problems

@hugh_h You can try GMER http://www.gmer.net/ Scroll to the downloads there's also and mbr and userland rootkit detector.

Non malicious web site according to virus total (checked with 38 site checkers)
Non malicious files according to virus total. Clam claims it could be a PUA but only because it performs low level analysis of a hard drive (which of course is its role in life).
My company, virusbusters, has used this program for over four years now with no issues. It has passed every antivirus scan of our systems and we run hundreds of them
The file is a zip file and opens in 7-zip and using windows XP compressed file explorer.

This program worked beautifully in testing an old external hard drive that was behaving strangely. Instead of relegating it to a secondary backup drive, it now looks to have plenty of life left.

A very basic photo edit tool that definitely comes in handy. Although light-years away from skilled hands using photoshop, this tool is primarily to fix minor mistakes and picture problems (stains, tears, splotches). Larger wipe areas will show a smudge created by the cleanup tool but sometimes its worth it for what it covers up. Only 1.5 megs makes for a terrifically small and easy tool.

attention, this linke for download goes to a no portable version

@Regis: ...which would probably be v1.20?

Stealth: no
Creates HKCU\Software\DiskInternals\ZipRepair

Great piece of software. Tried fixing an archive in WinRAR but it failed. Tried this and it was able to rebuild the Zip file. Thanks for the post!

You only need this program when something goes wrong and I got a chance to test it when an archived ZIP file went bad. The program worked great and did exactly what I needed. The program extracts the files from the archive that it can, then re-zipps them out to a new one (that isn't broken). Since I then extracted said archive, part of me wishes there was an option to just extract the good files and folders.

Now this great little utility saves it's settings in the local folder making it totally portable. THANK YOU, Nir !

1.71 works for ie7 (even though nirsoft does not claim it) it also works for vista (with the caveat that you cannot get rid of the signature warning even if you unblock in the file properties) 1.70 Works with Vista/ie7/portably but does write some items to registry

IMHO, the best registry cleaner is Argente Registry Cleaner. Supports 64-bits and there's a portable version. I'll probably add it to the database next month. www.argentesoftware.blogspot.com/

I totally second lautrepay's opinion about Argente Registry Cleaner.
Happy holidays everybody!

nice program to really mess up your system-had to reinstall outlook express!Try googling" regcleaner last freeware version"that program is safe and been using it for years-you can install a program then open regcleaner and it will show you what keys have been added-that same comany made regsupreme which I use but no longer made-that has never caused me any problems.regcleaner has an installer but does not write to the registry-dont know if it works on windows 7 but try maybe.

Disregard that, I just got it working. The instructions were a little confusing.

gms9813: thanks -- updated the instructions a little, hopefully its easier

Everytime I use it, this program surprises me away with a LOT of data about files. If ever you want to try and understand the history, author, or other details about a given file, ExifTool is a great place to start.

Very Popular but sadly neglected

SourceForge currently reports (Jan2016):
16,000 downloads this single week
and over a MILLION downloads in the last year !
BUT Last updated Aug 2014

What a shame this excellent software isn't developed to its full potential
or sold to someone who will

NickR: Prefer LibreOffice's Drawing tool, which takes some getting used to but also does a bit more than Dia. It's also in active development.

Briefly used it to draw a complex diagram for a project at work. Seems powerful but usability and UI require getting used to.

@joby_toss: Tried it again today and it works, too. Yesterday it wasn't working the whole day. Anyways, glad to see that it works again.

Hi, someone please fix the web and download links. Both are incorrect.

http://fnxbasic.com/wordpress/fnx-12-2013.zip

Although the security certificate of FNX Basic homepage has lapsed, the page is still accessible. OTOH, the original download location is missing, so the link was updated with kanu's suggestion.

This tool can be downloaded from here: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Encopy-Download-21693.html

Absolute useless software.

The program is freezing on launch for me in Win7x86

v2.0 available!!
http://www.withopf.com/tools/hdiskdefrag/

Dependencies: Needs admin rights

Really amazing number of imports and exports. Can pull from Outlook, vCard, Mozilla, Eudora, spreadsheets, Vista, and LDIF. Unfortunately I got error messages when I tried to export to excel/csv, which is a format I really needed.

Nearly Two years later... This app is currently hosted at: http://www.fonlow.com/opencontacts/ Having tried numerous contacts and address book apps including Thunderbird, I have yet to find something versatile, portable, configurable and reliable. While it sounds promising, if this doesn't work, I'm going back to Outlook express 6! I'm currently storing my database in MS Office Excel 2003 portable which I found and I love it! I just can't get Outlook .pst files to work.

v6.1.9.727 is available, dont know if still portable

Emka: Thanks -- updated.

Sorry, I just noticed the noping.net site was down. The program is now avalable at http://www.tristable.net/osiva/. The source code is also available there, Osiva is now under the GPL.

@Kent Stork
Thank you. Links updated. I noticed Osiva is at version 1.30 but the file size is much smaller compared with the version listed on the portable freeware collection. Could you post a changelog, please? Also, I understand Osiva is free and gpl'd but what about "If you use Osiva please send me an email"? Is it mandatory? Cheers.

"did you" even :)
