Clipboard Recorder Standard v4.0.3

Checker on 6 Aug 2014
  • 2MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by mrsyco

Clipboard Recorder Standard saves all clips from the system clipboard for later use. You can then select and paste clipboard data from your history into any Windows application by using the Win+V hotkey, or a variety of other method. Clipboard Recorder supports RTF text, HTML, CSV and images etc. It also supports transferring clipboard data between different machines.

Note: Main site has gone offline, so we are linking to Archive.org. A newer version of the program is also on the archive.org site, but has not been tested for portability.

Note: Clipboard Recorder Standard is the freeware version of Clipboard Recorder Professional and missing a few features. When you first run Clipboard Recorder Standard, it will run in the Professional trialware mode for 30 days, after which it reverts to the freeware mode.

Another great program!
The "minimize to icon" feature alone makes using this application worthwhile!

jabobian on 2010-04-28 15:26

Obviously the author has a lot to do.
1. have sort options for the items in Favorites.
2. allow short-cuts to menu item of plugins

Midas on 2012-12-07 15:27

This could've been the killer Windows interface tweaker, suplanting the likes of Sizer (http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17028) and Pitaschio (http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2487), if only development hadn't stopped in 2007.

Since it was released under the GPL, hope lingers still...

Only if you choose Service, Create Service, I think. Some programs contains functions that are not portable eg. create file association, add shell context menu, add system service etc. It is at your discretion not to activate them if portability is important to you!

Webfork on 2009-07-01 06:50

Save electricity when you know how long a download or maintinence program is going to run. You can even set the computer to shut down / standby when a given program stops running.

I use this at work to schedule MyDefrag to run at a specific time and when it's done, the computer reboots. No waiting for the defrag to finish! I love this program.

Restoration v3.2.13

Midas on 13 Jun 2018

Restoration helps undelete files that were deleted accidentally. You can scan for all files that could be recovered, or filter the results by entering a search term or extension. By contrast, if the recoverable files need to stay deleted, the program can perform a secure wipe function to fully delete recoverable files.

@Oliver

On this site "stealth" generally means that when an app is run and exited correctly it leaves nothing behind beyond the record Windows makes for every app. Since this does not save any settings at all the only changes it makes will be related to any files you recover with it. Assuming these things, yes it can be considered stealth.

spicydog on 2011-02-05 11:01

Restoration 3.2.13 is simply a great program!!! HUGE thanks (Domo Arigato Gozaimasu) to Brian Kato for having developed it and for the portablefreeware friends who suggested it.

I especially like the capacity to restore entire folders... Feature that I really miss in other recovery applications!

Pity that it is not possible to maximize the GUI...

spicydog on 2011-02-06 14:43

With Restoration v3.2.13 I have noticed the following:

a. - If I recover data from a local disk = Always excellent results

b. - If I recover data from a USB external hard disk = Sometimes the recovery of a shift-deleted folder is pretty weird (i.e. inside the recovered folder I find also other files, which were previously deleted on that HDD but had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the folder I just recovered)

c. - If I recover data from a (4GB) USB thumbdrive = I get immediately the "Do you want to scan vacant clusters?" popup and whether I click Yes or No after a split second I get the (exact same) "No files were found." response.

Anybody else experienced any of the above (a - b - c)?

Tnx

PDF2EXE v1.0.0

webfork on 24 Nov 2015
  • 1MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

PDF2EXE converts any PDF file to EXE, making PDF readable on any computer without PDF reading software. The conversion from PDF to EXE preserves the look and feel of the original document and includes optional compression. Note that PDF2EXE is based on Cool PDF Reader, which has attracted some comments disparaging the quality of its rendering engine. If you don't like Cool PDF Reader, you will probably want to give this a miss as well.

PDF2EXE also contains security features such as encryption of the shared PDF to help prevent modification, as well as disabling printing and image conversion.

Free PDF readers (Adobe's or otherwise) are so common and easy to obtain that I'm wondering how necessary it is to offer an alternative format, especially one that wouldn't work on Macs or Linux systems. If I knew for sure that my audience were all Windows users, I guess I might consider distributing .EXE files, but if it were up to me I'd prefer that everyone just had some kind of PDF reader.

decomp on 2009-01-12 04:50
