It is now 2015, Windows 10 is alive & well and my favorite mini app, 'Chaos Manager' is alive, well and working better then ever. It does what it does so well in a compact size, both the software and the UI.. Having looked at many other similar apps, I find them to take up much screen real estate. Chaos Manager is simple and perfect.

Unfortunately it's author has abandoned the website, and last time I contacted him he said he was done. This made me sad as it's software I've used for what seems like forever. But the good news is is that it's functioning better then ever, Windows 95 through Windows 10 (32 bit or 64 bit), and is in no need of change.

HK13: if you're in contact with the author, could you ask him/her to open source it? So maybe someone could pick it up and keep it going?

The download link appears to be dead. Can this be repaired, or another link provided? Thanks.

The "No VLC" and "Full" versions differ significantly in size:
"No VLC"- 27.0 MB (28,334,764 bytes) uncompressed
"Full"- 109 MB (115,235,866 bytes) uncompressed

Unless they have very specific needs, most 'portablists' should go with the "No VLC" version -- and get portable VLC if they need it...

Updated website url,
I dont think the site allows for direct download of the zip file tho.

Website is down.
The SnapFiles page about A43 (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/a43file.html) points to this homepage: http://vault32.com/a43/

Ennovy: updated, thanks

Working download link v2.3:

I wanted a file manger and saw this one. It seemed familiar but i had trouble finding a valid download link. When i found one i saw a screen shot and suddenly remembered why i hadn't already got it.
Sproaticus had the answer. It's really UGLY.
I'm going to download it and see if it really is as difficult to use though.

Wouldn't it be nice if, when trying to download some software, you could click on a download link and go straight to the correct download page.
I still haven't managed to download this software. Why?.
Because there's no download link. When you click on the website link it takes you to a website, (NANOCODESOFT), on which i can't find Ultramanger.
If i do a search on 'google' there are plenty of references to 'Ultramanager' but they all seem to take you to web sites that have nothing to do with 'Ultramanager' or don't work.
I managed to download a file which i thought was 'Ultramanager' but it turned out to be a single page file manager that didn't display any files.

OK, i've let some steam off now, BUT, i would recommend 'FreeCommander' over ANY of the others. It might not have media players or lights and bells, but it is excellent and easy to use and it works.

Sorry for my outburst(s) but at least i didn't swear.

Very handy, I assume it would be if it worked anyway.

All I'm getting from it is "Thank you for using HFT 1.03, please re-download it from ......"

I downloaded another copy thinking mine ,might have been corrupted but I still get the same response.

Version 1.4 works.
Looks pretty good so far.
I don't think it's going to drag anyone away from their favourite explorers though

Agree with user "Local": a promising software but very behind in terms of features and capabilities of similar tools here on PortableFreeware.

The dependency is Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher:
https://keepass.info/help/base/faq_tech.html#sysreq2x

For TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 support, .NET 4.5 or higher is required:
https://keepass.info/news/n160309_2.32.html

For TLS 1.3 support, .NET 4.8 or higher is required:
https://keepass.info/news/n200910_2.46.html

Version 2.53.1, which closes a security hole, is now available.

V2.54: https://keepass.info/news/n230603_2.54.html

MultiCommander has a bug in log into other directories. I could not log into directories reliably. =( Check the directories you enter with MC!

Version 10 no longer supports Windows XP
Download latest XP Edition here: http://multicommander.com/downloads/XP

Multi Commander unfortunately isn't stealth > creates MultiCommander-key in HKCU\Software. Could be triggered by some settings. Deleting apparently doesn't affect settings/functionality, but the key reappears on every start.

"If you are looking for SE-Explorer, SE-DesktopApps, etc., then we want to inform you that at present we've stopped the development." from web site. http://www.se-soft.com/lang/en/

@PAFuser: it's unfortunate what some people think is obsolete. There are a whole lot of very old programs on my machine that still do a way better job than available alternatives.

I do not disagree, I still use Excel 2003, and it took some work to get it to work correctly on Windows 10 - 64 bit. If program is all you need and works, great. SE-Explorer zip contains SE-MediaPlayer, does not work. Context menu limited to SE-Explorer list, unlike FreeCommanderXE, etc. which include context items added to Windows menu. Future development might have changed this.

Unfortunately the website and download links are not accessible: "403 Forbidden" and "404 Not found" errors.

This is THE BEST portable launcher I have found so far with tons of features and customizations. Sadly, it looks like development has been discontinued. The website is down and there hasn't been an update since long :(

I am pretty ticked off at this program. I installed it, and did not like it at all. Tried to UNinstall it, and very tough. It's not on the Windows menu, no where in the XP add / remove control panel. I am using Norton, which will hopefully uninstall all of it from the registry.

Until there is an easy way to uninstall this program, absolutely beware.


Jon

Uh, Jon? *None* of the programs listed on this site can be uninstalled; you just delete them when you don't want them any more.

uh, Pikadude, FreeCommander can be uninstalled. Shows up in the control panel and has an uninstall routine. Beware of Alt Commander. Do not trust a program that does not offer uninstall or document what was done in the installation process.

By the author of Ubiquitous Player:

I've decided to stop updating this program. In 3 years I received exactly zero feedback on it, so I guess no one really uses it.

Thanks.

So ... is this program being actively developed again now?

WOW this is still being updated I'm surprised but anytime someone is willing to improve their software 4me its a good thing. I used this some time back it does a lot of things but to me is just way to busy although it did work well when I used. :)

Latest portable 64bit version throws a runtime error on Win 10.

Fixed in latest update.

Now at 23.1.3

This little utility does have some potential.
There are some problems though, things like it's not very portable, you can't enter 'relative' paths for things like the viewer, it needs to have a drive letter.
It doesn't show the file extensions.
If you want to use a text editor other than 'Notepad2', well, tough.
You don't seem to be able to select multiple files to copy or move.

I'll keep an eye on this, if it can be improved then i could use it.

The missing Jarte Forum thread- http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2376 .

@smaragdus: Thanks ... and updated ;)

The instructions should be updated according to tikbalang's post.

winPenPack has released X-muCommander Portable.
Note: the JRE setup will be downloaded and installed automatically in the "Lib" directory.
http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1101

This program still supports SMB 1.0, which is no longer supported by Windows 10. Very useful if you have older devices and don't want to make your Windows 10 insecure by re-enabling this protocol.

@CB13RY: from my quick checking, it seems that if you run the portable version once, it creates a 'Settings.ini' file in the application folder; you can edit this file with any text editor to change the paths included -- I was able to change from absolute path to filename only...

BTW, current version is now 2.3 -- please update.

@Midas: Updated, thanks.

BitComet is at v.1.99: https://bitcomet.com/en

BitComet download page: https://bitcomet.com/en/archive

Inside the zip:
https://download.bitcomet.com/achive/BitComet_1.99.zip

VirusTotal score: 4/69 for BitComet.exe
VirusTotal score: 1/70 for BitComet_x64.exe

Both EXE appear to be 64 bit

Probably a great tool, but .. how to get a .txt file of my bookmarks, furthermore, compatible with this software ...? I searched a lot, but I have not yet found the solution with Firefox: I only get a .json files... Or build itself the file with a text editor ? then you no longer need myFavs!

curly: now has 32 bit myFavs.exe & source
Guido76: You can just create a new myFavsLinks.txt with notepad . But be sure to
use the delimeter [ ] after each field: MenuName[]LinkDescription[]LinkAddress[] & also read the Help . But the best and safe way is to just add your links to myStarterLinks.txt example file . Then save it as (whatever) Guido76Links.txt .
Thanks
