Since it had been over a year since my last comment and the last time I used Balabolka, and since then I've seen several update notices for it, bought a brand new computer, and moved on to windows 10 I figured I'd give it another try since I really don't like being tied to preparatory software beyond my OS.

Hexplorer is an editor for viewing/editing files in hexadecimal format. Its unique feature is the ability to interpret and visualize binary data in various ways eg. view as BMP header or FAT32 boot sector. It comes with a built-in pixel viewer to show binaries as bitmaps. It also doubles up as a disk sector editor since it is able to access logical disks under WinNT/2K/XP.
NOTE: If the program starts up with a very small font, select View from the menu and choose Options - Font - Fixed Roman Large.

Yes, it has some unusual features, but it is not truely portable. After installing and playing with it for a while, I discovered that it stored the primary (font selection, colors, etc) in two files (hexplorer.dat and mclip.dat) in "%windir%\Application Data". I did not use all the features and tools so other files may be created. |

DriveCleanup removes all currently non present "Storage Volumes", "Disk", "CDROM", "Floppy" USB drives and their USB devices from the device tree. Furthermore it removes orphaned registry items related to these device types. Both are not removed by similar programs on the site and take up space on the registry, eventually slow down a computer over time.
To preview program actions, start with argument -T (test mode).
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).

TorChat is a basic, text-only instant messaging client focused on security and anonymity. It includes availability (away, lunch, etc), optional profile, and avatar. The program requires almost no setup: just share your randomly-generated username (e.g. "bkmworoidjwxz5l") to other TorChat users. These are easily created and discarded to help maintain anonymity.
The program uses the Tor network's hidden services feature to send messages between peers with authentication and encryption based on public key exchange.
Also available for Linux.
NOTE: TorChat has been out of development for some time and connection may require additional steps. Ricochet is an attempted replacement.

TreeCopy is a unique directory copier taking the various folders the source folder to a set of empty target folders. Its unique from similar tools as it copies only the directory structure and not the files. This is useful for developers and in testing.
This functionality is similar to the windows command line "xcopy" i.e. XCOPY source [destination] /T /E, but this tool allows this action without needing to remember command line switches.

WebCamImageSave captures a still image from your camera at an interval you choose and saves it into image file (.jpg, .png, .bmp) on your disk. Images can be formatted according to time/date (e.g.: img20110725_123256.jpg). Optionally, the program can add a label to the image with date/time that the image was captured. The format of this label can be customized including font, color, and time format.
An included command-line utility can capture a single camera image without displaying any user interface.

According to the website, JavaRa is no longer developed. However, a definition update (for JavaRa to be able to remove latest Java versions) is available.

"Desktop Calendar and Desktop Info appear to be attached to the desktop and technically they are. However they still disappear when you click the "Show Desktop" button in the Quick Launch toolbar. This is correct behaviour according to Windows; it's just very annoying. Presently, there's nothing you can do about this."

Perhaps not as easy or up-to-date, but I'm really satisfied with Walcal; I have been using it for years and it's portable (writes settings to ini).

WinFontsView enumerates all fonts installed on your system, and displays them in one simple table. For each font, WinFontsView draws 5 samples of the font in different sizes, in order to allow you to easily find and choose the desired font that you need. The program also allows you to view the fonts as bold, italic, and with underline, as well as it allows you to export the fonts list in an HTML file.
WinFontsView also allows you to choose the right set for non-English characters in fonts and to type the characters displayed in the sample text.

It needs and uses Internet Explorer, which is NOT portable. I'll have a serious look at this program if it can work with my browser of choice. I am now not al interested in it.

Latest version still says 1.12.39 in the Help / About menu. And the .exe file is exactly the same size as 1.12.39. So has it even been updated? |

version 1.41.09, Nov 08, 2010 [*]Added "Feb 29" as a valid date for yearly events. Added the possibility to edit an event directly from the main window, using Ctrl+DoubleClick when the pointer is over the event. Changed the $Age{} macro to accept zero and negative years. The English version of the $Age{} macro is always accepted, no matter the language of the program. Created the dutch version of the program (Thanks to Thibaud Chabot). |

Nice try, but... If you want a really cool and free daily reminder program, try DateTrac, available at soucek.clearwire.net/filetrac.html It reminds you at system boot time then exits, rather than remaining in your tray and sucking resource all day long. ZERO registry entries, so it's totally portable. Give it a try.

Nice look and feel. However, I gauge any reminder system by whether it can do the Thanksgiving (2nd Tuesday October in Canada or 4th Thursday November USA), or every x weeks. This one unfortunately doesn't do either. |

Free PDF Editor allows you to insert text and images into text and image boxes, as well as rectangles and ellipses. Within a text box, you can change font, alignment, size, and color. Useful for creating quick-and-dirty PDFs without having to use OpenOffice or having access to a print-to-PDF program.
NOTE: This program merely exports to PDFs and cannot open them.

As in 2010 year comments, this is not a real editor: it just can't open any pdf file. |

The referred site does not mention anything about its portability. Makes me wary of unexpected surprises if put on a thumb drive. Any assurance (please!) |
There are two programs within the package. FontView displays all installed fonts in one window, which makes it easier to compare fonts and delete those that are similar. CharMap shows all characters in a font and copy characters to the clipboard, with the ability to increase the size of the characters displayed, something which the native Windows CharMap utility cannot do.
