The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Maybe add a disclaimer at sign-up that if you don't post within the first 3 months your account will be closed. I think we can add some info after sign up asking new users to post a hello message at the Chit-Chat section. That way, as long as they have at least a single message in the forum, they w...

Well, I've been using some forums for years w/out posting...so I'm not into such methods.

Because the ones that work best for you are not x64?

Why the heck do you need a x64 notepad?

...all these pdf to exe converters actually transform the pages into images Yes, that's what I also figured... Anyway your tip would have worked fine if my pdf file did not have those "extras", so thanks anyway. Just give him/her a very low resolution pdf full of watermarks. :) That remin...

Firefox, for 2 reasons:
-It's the only browser that works OK with 100+ tabs

A program, regardless of platform, is portable as long as it doesn't save settings in a non-portable location such as %APPDATA% or $HOME.

FLAC is rubbish. Unmaintained for years, weak and slow, except for decompression. It gained some popularity because of missteps of competition, but I can't understand why is it growing.

I didn't mean "uses the same settings on different machines", but rather "it's usb-portable on various platforms". Obviously, using the same settings is much better, but the main point was to just deduplicate description, comments and other metadata that's usually not platform sp...

Many players support it already.

Wow. The greatest Windows program is back from the dead.

Let me guess...your kid has admin rights? No, but using old machine running WinXP :D You know how difficult it is to secure THAT! Frankly...I don't. I'm aware about some architectural issues, but these can't be fixed by users at all and aside from that I used to think that proper access control + k...
