A Few Apps

Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

wow what a lot of work and effort went into this, thanks for taking the time!
I personaly dont expect the poster to sytematically check and comment on how to set up each prog to get it to workin a portable way etc. There is just too much. each reader will have to use their own judgment on what they try etc.
Interesting posts! and thanks

For those who Test and Add applications to the site, I am going to have a look through these and add if portable. I know the database is large already but it's good to have more choice. I hope someone will jump on the band wagon with me and help me out ;)

TreeCopy
Have you ever needed to copy a directory structure without copying the files? TreeCopy now makes this possible. Our small program will allow you to select the "from directory" and "into directory", and it will proceed to copy ONLY the directory structure.

Old thread but ...

Found another one: I just tested "Notify" as I was interested in the program description, only to find it requires command-line arguments with the directory you want to monitor. Ugh.

Old thread update:

Wish I'd seen ShareWatch earlier. I was running a Windows file server once upon a time and that would have really worked well. http://www.stevemiller.net/sharewatch/ For the most part I've switched over any file serving jobs to to FileZilla Server.

AutoClick website is offline so ...
GS Auto Clicker is a useful tool to automatically click mouse instead of hand. If you click mouse frequently when you are playing game or working, this application can release your finger and save your time.

You will simply need to press one specific HotKey, and GS Auto Clicker will then help you finish clicking, the application even lets you record sequences of clicks on different parts of the screen to be used over and over. From the Options menu, you can select which mouse button to use and also select single or double clicks. The application can also be set to continue clicking until it's stopped or to click just a certain number of times, and you can adjust the interval between clicks in hours, minutes, seconds, or milliseconds. Compatible with Vista, Windows 7, and 64-bit systems.
Main site links to CNet, so here's the program on Softpedia:

Old thread update: I recently tested out MonitorES energy saver tool because it has a simple functionality that should have been available long ago: blank the screen, mute audio, and pause media players upon screen lock. Those are all things I wish I could enable on my systems today. Unfortunately isn't functioning under Win7x86. New site: https://github.com/ukanth/monitores
