NVU Portable v1.0 Rev 5

webfork on 12 Jan 2016

Nvu is a web authoring system (like FrontPage or DreamWeaver) that features WYSIWYG editing of web pages, integrated file management via FTP and tabbed editing that makes working on multiple pages a snap. It includes support for forms, tables, and templates.

Note: KompoZer Portable is considered an unofficial bug fix based on the same code. The Nvu Project has ended and PortableApps lists KompoZer on the former home page.

An excellent basic HTML editor for new and intermediate Web page authors. Although the program has a few bugs here and there, it is easily one of the best free (non-text only) Web page editors available. Its cross-platform nature (windows, linux, mac) means you'll be able to edit your files no matter where you are.

Because NVU was never updated after its initial creation, a successor with some bug fixes and additional features is the also portable KompoZer: http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1209

his is a great program. While set up to easly open and edit html files, I found I can also open and edit asp pages as well. I really like how it color codes the html on the source view page

The application is now named as "KompoZer"

Although this is a nice integrated package for the novice, if you are looking for something more powerful, I would suggest Autoruns (which shows you almost everything that autostarts with the system, including devices and services), and MJ RegWatcher (for alerting you to suspicious registry modifications). Both are more complex than APV, but also far more sophisticated and powerful.

Is TabbyWare (TabbyFile) dead?

donald on 2010-06-17 05:54

The website tabbyware.com is dead.

I found it available at Softpedia, and Brothersoft.

http://www.brothersoft.com/tabbyfile-download-92221.html

I have added these to the entry (Softpedia because of the description).

I found an alternative freeware password generator at http://www.password-generator.com You may check if it suits your needs.

Falren on 2010-07-27 15:56

I normally use the 'Password Generator' feature (under Tools) of the KeePass 1.17 executable file on my thumbdrive to get passwords. 30,000 character limitation; Upper case; lower case; numbers; punctuation, brackets; even high ANSI characters. Mayne this will satisfy your complex password needs.

Folderico v3.7.2

webfork on 16 Jan 2019
  • 4MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 4 Jan 2007
  • Suggested by crownixx

Folderico allows you to change the default icon of any folder. It performs this feat by creating a desktop.ini file in the chosen folder that points to the desired icon (also automatically created) so that Windows Explorer will render the folder icon differently. Folderico does not need to be running for the new folder icon to be displayed, and the changes are sticky even when the hard disk or memory stick is plugged into another machine.
