The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

I haven't played with it much yet, but here is the Tips section from the author, assoc.exe | find “.txt” – this will list the ProgId for txt files ftype.exe | find “txtfile” – will list the executable associated with the ProgId txtfile reg.exe query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp...

I found a freeware CLI program *after* my last Windows 10 updates, where I manually reset so many file associations to my portable apps. SetUserFTA is designed specifically to solve this problem.

... I just don't get it ... Why use an app to block (completely or selectively) Windows 10 updates, when this can be achieved simply with registry tweaks? There are many websites explaining how to do that: you see exactly the changes you are making to the registry and you don't have to worry if the...

Did you know that [LibreOffice](https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2055) has command line options? Here is my favourite usage, using --convert-to to create .pdf, .epub, .xhtml or UTF-encoded .txt and as source documents anything LibreOffice can open I convert all my classes powerpoints or...

Here is Sordum's list of GUI utilities, some of which also have command line (CLI) options. You will notice that many are duplicated in my post yesterday in cli submissions forums, but they also belong here if they have a GUI as well. Sordum claims all are portable, and the few I've tried so far are...

[Sordum.org](https://www.sordum.org/) has a number of CLI apps, some of which also have GUIs. They are portable unless listed otherwise. The ones I have tested (Rexplorer, Webcam On-Off, TopMost, EdgeBlocker) also appear to be stealth, even in GUI mode. Here is a list of apps that are CLI or have bo...

For me, I hate extra files (batch file plus a CLI app) if I can help it. My workaround is either to make a batch file and compile it using [Batc to Exe Compiler](https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1660) I would embed Rexplorer_64.exe into the compiled batch so I only have the one file or ...

I tested "Restart Explorer" by double clicking the exe file. After at least one minute of panic (60 secs ... that is long!) my desktop reappeared, but not the open windows. I do not see the point of this application, since I can get the same result, but much much faster with Task Manager ...

New web page (since 2018, I think). The old one is defunct.

I did **not** test for portability.

In fact, there are a few GUIs for pdftk. My favourite is pdftkBuilder (https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1066) by Angus Johnson, who has kept it up since 2004 or earlier to my first usage. Another is Dirk Paehl's GUI for pdftk (https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=17), though it...

With version 2.3 (December 2019) Coherent has given its cpdf a non-commercial use license. I used cpdf commercially at work, and am glad I can use it at home not, too. cpdf is a PDF toolkit, capable of everything pdftk does, and much more. Examples include Merge PDF files together, or split them apa...

Good for renaming files via script or batch file, [Echodate](http://codefromthe70s.org/cmdline.aspx#echodate) is an executable wrapper around the strftime(), which has many date / time formats It echos the current date or time to STDOUT or to redirection via > or | In my scripts I usually send it to...

I really like this, and the inclusion of Angle Brackets as a standard I totally agree with. Let me see if I understand the post by restating them in what I hope are lay terms, using the same examples. I tend to rewrite many of the CLI help documentation for my personal documentation file so that if ...

I'm glad you like it. It doesn't meet my needs, but in looking for a way to print from MemPad (http://portablefreeware.com/?id=889), I discovered Clip2Print which is a portable taskbar utility to print the clipboard contents. You may find it useful. I checked the links and download from this old for...
