Helge's Switchblade (not to be mistaken with the USB windows cracking method reported elsewhere) is a portable toolkit that, although it isn't being developed anymore, might provide a quick way to arm your USB for portable system management.

The main reason I stopped developing it is actually due to the fact that after a couple of drinks I managed to delete all of the source code for the tool, now you have to realize this was before I knew of source control or dropbox, and recovering it proved hopeless.
Although, honestly, the original tool was a complete hack that was a bunch of third party tools thrown together with a fancy visual basic GUI that opened up separate .exe's, I'd like to revisit the original idea of the tool in the future, preferable using something other than VB.NET.
The tool is still getting a few hundred downloads a month and the site gets around 600~ monthly hits.
I am now a much better developer then I was back when this tool was released and I'm sure I can do a lot better.
