Locate32 is an indexing search tool that allows you to find files on local and Windows networking-compatible remote shares. After an initial search of shares, it uses database to provide instant for any number of files and folders. Searches can be set on a variety of criterion including date, size, extension, files/folders, etc.
Note that the databases must be updated to give accurate information. You can customize places to search and frequency of each update (e.g. your desktop hourly, your backup drive weekly). Some file types' contents can be searched including most MS Office file formats, but only some PDFs and image metadata.

Nice util!!! However it overwrites my DBF file (i.e. it still works, but the file is not identical to what it was before opening it with DBF Viewer Plus). If I set the DBF file to read-only, it says "access denied", and won't open it. That's not really acceptable in my book!!! |
Moo0 File Monitor monitors a host computer activity including processor history, disk activity, and a customizable view of file activities (create, write, rename, delete) on one or more drives. File activity is displayed live to demonstrate what applications are modifying the drive. The program can be used to track down programs that are slowing system performance by reading/writing too much from the hard drive or for config files and other changes.
HTML log file export available.
Note: Program exits by right-clicking system tray icon (thanks Jimmy).

I think that the instructions are outdated: |
Floola is a standalone application to manage your iPod (iTunes 7.3 and below) or your Motorola mobile phone (any model supporting iTunes). It is a cross-platform program that can run directly from your iPod. Floola supports all most common used iPod features including podcasts, smart playlists, notifications, search lost/duplicate files, videos, HTML list export, etc.
The program may be able to fix an iPod if other software caused problems.

Floola deleted all of my music off my iPod, and now it won't even open. I'm using a Korean computer that won't download iTunes properly, so could that be a problem? Is there any way to get my music back?

The homepage mentions a version for use with an iPod and one just for use on a PC. |

This made digging through a boatload of images I'd built up SO much easier. There's just no other way to navigate thousands of icon files. It almost forms a kind of catalog so I have a clear idea of what's available. |

Excellent program. You can highlight a few important time zones but gives easy access if you want to check somewhere else on the map. Outstanding if you do a lot of international work and need to keep track of time in many different places across the globe. |

@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. |
Audiograbber reads digital audio from your CDs and converts them to WAV, MP3, or OGG files. The program can automatically normalize the music, delete silence from the start and/or end of tracks, and download/upload disc info from the Internet CD database "freedb". You can even convert your vinyl LPs or cassette tapes with Audiograbber to digital audio.
Warning: the official home page has started bundling software that is being listed as malware by numerous sources. We are only linking to Softpedia, which hosts one without these issues. We recommend against visiting audiograbber.org.

Glad to see Audiograbber is still around, as it was the first trustworthy CD ripper I ever used, back in the 90's... :) |
Portable Application Launcher (archived) organizes shortcuts into groups and categories. It's accessed via the system tray or user-defined hotkeys. Several styles and some languages are included. It can also be used as a portable desktop. PAL is capable of automatically installing PortableApps.com Format (PAF) applications, as well as many entries here on PortableFreeware. An included browser for downloading apps can be used with Universal Extractor and a simplistic updater module.
The program includes several extras not included in other launcher programs including favorites bar, "most-used apps" menu, file manager & search, simple RSS & iCal readers, timer, and more.
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).
Note: Main site currently offline. Linking to Softpedia (thanks Baas).

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 :( |
Duplicati is a feature-rich backup client that allows user store compressed, encrypted (AES-256 or GPG) backups locally or on a variety of remote services. The program can save bandwidth and disk writes by only backing up the parts of a file that have changed since the last backup. It can backup open/running programs, on demand or scheduled, and can run in the background with bandwidth and process priority limits to avoid interfering with other applications. Includes support for backups to Amazon S3, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Drive (Google Docs), Rackspace Cloud Files or WebDAV, SSH and FTP.
Note: As portable software, it necessarily does not run at system startup so the available scheduling tools cannot function unless the program is actually running. To manually run a backup, just start the wizard and select "Run a backup immediately".
Cross platform (Mac/Linux) with available command-line tools.
