Used winzip for ages, and moved to 7zip a couple of years ago. This program blows me away, does everything ive ever wanted without all the extra baggage. Got to be one of the absolute best portable freeware ever. Cant go wrong here, and no im not on their payroll....

@webfork:
Ruby had already told me that I am incorrect, 7-Zip Portable writes its vital settings to the Windows registry.
Now, either you must prove that you are correct or Ruby must prove himself or herself correct. I don't care who is correct. Just tell the entire truth about how 7-Zip Portable write its vital settings.

Ruby on 2013-02-13 23:27

@Mixture
Your initial post indicated using 7-Zip without the PAF format in which case settings are stored in the registry.

7-Zip Portable will backup any local 7-Zip registry settings which allows the portable 7-Zip (PAF) to use that registry key to R/W settings to and when finished will restore the local 7-Zip registry key backup

Just found another bad bug that qualifies this as a version to avoid. It has new features, one of which is similar to the brightness editor. Any adjustments I make simply revert and do not save.

showstopper!

So, anyone have a link to 4.2 portable version? :(

Baas on 2011-01-19 01:41

@SH

Get V4.2 Portable @ http://www.afterdawn.com/software/general/download_splash.cfm/faststone_image_viewer?software_id=2790&version_id=26148

Bug report to support@faststone.org

Ruby on 2011-04-12 14:18

@SH

I think what you're referring to has been fixed in Version 4.4 (March 25, 2011)

"Fixed a bug in the "Adjust Lighting" tool that it could not save changes of Highlights"

i made myself portable versions of SPlayer, MPlayer WW, and PowerDVD because i dislike VLC's interface and video quality; it feels and looks unpolished.

I also downloaded PortableApp's SMPlayer, but it doesn't work for me; very rare that an app from PortableApp doesn't work. More than likely, it's the player itself that's causing the problem.

I use all of them, but in the end: i use VLC 99% of the time. I just wish the video quality was better and the interface wasn't so rough and rugged. If VLC fixed that, i could get rid of the rest.

VLC Media Player v119 real nice update ..
very stable .. great sound
Runs perfect, so far .. on Win98 with Kernel-X 4.5
(all first impresions)

Not a big fan of VLC, but sometimes you need a dependable portable player. This version (v2.0.1) runs great. I ran music and videos on XP, 7, and 8RP. No problems.

According to the manual:
Once started with:
sumatra.exe -bg-color FFFF
the background color persists (stored in sumatrapdfprefs.dat).
So, the next time you start with sumatra.exe the background will be white.

I love this application! Not only does it allow me to eliminate nearly all dependency on Adobe reader (A major resource hog) but it also doubles as an e-reader (I found that out by accident) and it even has a plug-in for Firefox! Also, since it doesn't run JavaScript embedded in the PDF, a major security hole is filled! I highly recommend this fast little PDF reader for anyone who has had it with Adobe!

For anyone interested, optimized x64 pre-release builds (currently v2.2.6650) of Sumatra PDF can be found @ http://nikkhokkho.sourceforge.net/static.php?page=SumatraPDFOpt

Can't live without this app. I don't know how many problems I've fixed, with others' computers as well as my own, just by running CCleaner once.

guinness on 2012-09-26 12:40

WinApp2.com has just push the 1000 programs mark for cleaning additional applications that CCleaner doesn't.

Ganamyde on 2013-03-26 18:53

Here is an updater for it, it also has an option to update Winapp2
