There is a new version 11.2.0.556, but i think it is not portable any more.

@Peter202 That's true - we're intentionally linking to the old version. I'll add a note to the entry about that.

FYI, the installer download for this version is still available from the homepage: |
Locate32 is an indexing search tool that allows you to find files on local and Windows networking-compatible remote shares. After an initial search of shares, it uses database to provide instant for any number of files and folders. Searches can be set on a variety of criterion including date, size, extension, files/folders, etc.
Note that the databases must be updated to give accurate information. You can customize places to search and frequency of each update (e.g. your desktop hourly, your backup drive weekly). Some file types' contents can be searched including most MS Office file formats, but only some PDFs and image metadata.

Duplicati is a feature-rich backup client that allows user store compressed, encrypted (AES-256 or GPG) backups locally or on a variety of remote services. The program can save bandwidth and disk writes by only backing up the parts of a file that have changed since the last backup. It can backup open/running programs, on demand or scheduled, and can run in the background with bandwidth and process priority limits to avoid interfering with other applications. Includes support for backups to Amazon S3, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Drive (Google Docs), Rackspace Cloud Files or WebDAV, SSH and FTP.
Note: As portable software, it necessarily does not run at system startup so the available scheduling tools cannot function unless the program is actually running. To manually run a backup, just start the wizard and select "Run a backup immediately".
Cross platform (Mac/Linux) with available command-line tools.

Nice software. The only downside is they made it stupidly complicated to sync. And, as of this instant, I haven't figured out to have it sync automatically. Who wants to have to remember to sync????

When called from tray, "Notes Manager" took about 10 seconds to show up, this is awkward and frustrating. Overall the program does not behave well on Windows 8 x64. |

This program has my favorite password generator function, creating alternately the most random looking passwords or, using the "pronoucable" feature some legitimately easy to remember (yet still strong) passwords. |
Quick Config is a powerful and convenient tool aimed at saving or changing various settings to a custom profile. This is useful for resetting any changes to a single computer or for multiple computers that all need to have similar network, sound, or video options. The program will work as a very basic backup system for listed system settings (saved to its own XML file) that can then restore a machine or be transferred to another computer.
Available changes include setting local and network shares printers, sound scheme and volume, registry entries, services, run specific programs, change browser and email defaults. Changes can be applied in part (on each section select "apply now") or in whole (from the main window).

Nice application but it doesn't support dual screen or extended screen display. At work I work with TWO screens, at home only with my laptop screen. This is the most important feature for me and it is unavailable :-(
