I use it since W98. Very easy copy/paste/crop/resize/scan/print/sharpness and many other things.

XnView is not Windows XP compatible anymore. In order to make it work with XP, replace libwebp.dll (plugin folder) with with webp.dll (xnview.com/download/plugins/webp.zip).

I have been using FreeCommander for many years and it is, simply, outstanding. To not have a real file manager is a misfortune; to be without FreeCommander is to be handicapped. Over time I have introduced many new users to FreeCommander and the results are always the same after several weeks of use - fascination that they ever managed to function with that Windows File Explorer thing. I had moved to FreeCommander when the old Xtree/XtreeGold file manager was no longer functional in Windows, and other file managers were not handling the complex file management work regularly encountered. At first, the two default panes in FreeCommander seemed odd. Though one pane can be disabled or hidden, dual panes grow quickly on the user until one realizes - wait, how can anyone function with a file manager that has just one pane?

HashMyFiles is a small utility that allows you to generate unique file identifiers (hashes) using a variety of popular checks. These can help determine if a file has been modified or corrupted, as well as help determine the file's reputation by submitting to the VirusTotal database for malware analysis.
Formats supported range form fast to secure with CRC32, MD5, SHA1/-256/-512/-384. The various hashing information can be saved to a report (text/HTML/XML/CSV/TSV) that includes name, path, dates, file size, version and other info.

Blows my mind how stagnate NirSoft's programs become, HashMyFiles still doesn't have a way to "Delete files to Recycle Bin" or similar. And all his programs are still plagued with DPI/multi-monitor issues years after reporting about them.

Unlocker Assistant helps unlock files locked by operating system permissions or other issues. The program automatically launches if you are trying to delete/rename/move a file that is locked. When not in use, it stays in your system tray bar. Additionally, individual locked files and folders may be drag-and-dropped onto unlocker.exe.
Alternatively, Unlocker Portable (beta) is a launcher-only version of Unlocker.

Is this still available? I clicked on the portable download from the website, which redirected me to a download site, which redirected me to another download site... about half a dozen sites later with no download in sight, one of them finally tried to get me to download and install a dodgy "Download Software Manager" app. I gave up at that point.

I don't understand why we find today this software which is always at the same version since 2013. The site of the designer even seems abandoned. Several links are broken (404 error). This doesn't take away anything from this excellent software, but it doesn't add anything new. |

I'm glad that Wesnoth made it to Steam. Hopefully the community will grow and attract more enthusiasts. |

Who cares for all the glitter effects that can hog memory. It's real use is to organize screen clutter which it does very well. The biggest feature for me is having multiple desktops with different icons and wallpaper, screensavers, etc. Of course that's just one of many features available. Simply put one of the best virtual desktop managers around. My only complaint is that it requires admin rights. |
Click-N-Type is a on-screen virtual keyboard for anyone with a disability that prevents him or her from typing on a physical computer keyboard. It features word prediction/completion, macros, audio/visual feedback options including spoken keys etc. It also includes a keyboard designer and many user designed layouts.
Unlike many similar tools, Click-N-Type is able to get text into uncooperative places like browser URL "Address:" fields, Email "To:" addresses, Email "Subject:" fields, dialog boxes like "Open" and "Save As...", and many more.

luojie, Are you sure you have the correct French Language Pack installed on you portable device, as described in the "Special considerations for Click-N-Type Portable:" section at http://cnt.lakefolks.com/portable.htm ? There are several for different countries. Also, be sure the correct Input Language has been installed in Windows, and is being used by the current target window. Address questions to Click-N-Type@LakeFolks.com .

John, We see the possible problem and have eliminated the need for that module, not distributed with Windows 7. However, we still need some more time to sufficiently test Click-N-Type on Windows 7. Please watch the http://cnt.lakefolks.com site for the next revision (newer than 3.03.387). Address questions to Click-N-Type@LakeFolks.com . |
Universal Viewer can open many different formats including text, binary, rich text, images (including Photoshop), videos, audio, etc. Many office formats including PDF, DJVU, and MS Word / Excel. The program can open large text files, such as log files, very quickly and without eating memory.

This is the fastest PDF viewer. Awesome for high graphics magagine kind of PDFs. I have a lower mid range laptop. Universal viewer throws sumatra, pdfxcange, foxit out of water when it comes to speed of loading one after another high graphics page. And it's the lightest of all the PDF viewers I have tested, uses minimal CPU unlike others I have mentioned.

Ignore my previous comment. I am an idiot. It actually uses an old version of Sumatra, which was faster and lighter. |
Qlock is a world clock program with support for alarms, notes and time synchronization. You can create clocks for different countries/cities and view them all on the desktop.Note that options marked with a [Pro] icon are payware-only features. You can try them out a number of times before a reminder window pops up and asks you to upgrade. This includes features like the integrated RSS/Atom feed reader and daily foreign exchange rates.
Note: v1.86 appears to be last portable version.

Ah, my db changes were stupid again! Do I understand it correctly NOW: v1.86 is actually the last portable one? Then we probably should have that version with the softpedia link above in the db.
