AutoHotkey v1.1.34.02 Updated
Special on 12 May 2022 Change history
- 7MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 12 May 2022
- Suggested by Jon Pajela
AutoHotkey is a powerful automation and scripting tool with an option to export to a self-contained executable. Possible uses include assigning the hotkey "Ctrl-Alt-F" to launch Firefox, making abbreviations expand to their full definition as you type them, or saving time by setting the computer to auto-click a confirmation screen.
The program can create entire applications and has been used to create many hosted here on PortableFreeware including 7plus, WallPaper Randomizer, Gridy and many more.
Note: Pulover's Macro Creator can be used as a macro recorder and includes an "Export to AHK" function.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but if you download the installer and extract, you get all the exes (32/64 unicode and ansi), Window Spy, the help chm, a template and the ahk2exe compiler.

Also it is stealth if you place a ahk file named the same as the executable, it wil not place anything in the user directory. So if your executable is "autohotkey.exe" name it "autohotkey.ahk" |
FastStone Capture v5.3
billon on 22 Aug 2020 Change history
- 1MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 12 Feb 2007
- Suggested by Fluffy
FastStone Capture is a powerful, flexible and intuitive screen-capture utility. It allows you to capture anything on the screen including windows, objects, full screen, rectangle regions, freehand-selected regions and scrolling windows/web pages. It has innovative features such as a floating Capture Panel, hotkeys, resizing, cropping, text annotation, printing, e-mailing, screen magnifier and many more.
Reported to function in Windows 7 and in Linux under WINE.
Note: FastStone Capture went payware starting from v5.4 so I have made the last freeware version available (v5.3) for direct download as the license agreement does not prohibit redistribution.

@jimdorey: I'm a little confused why we had a listing that this works with Win10 -- it really doesn't. When this version of the program stopped being developed, Win7 wasn't even out yet. Anyway, I recommend trying another software package for that OS. I've updated the entry.

@jimdorey: v5.3 works fine on my win 10 x64 using a 1080p screen resolution. Maybe you're using a high DPI screen/4k monitor, and only the last version (8.4, payware, but worth every penny) works fine in that case.

Angry IP Scanner v2.21
__philippe on 25 Jan 2021 Change history
- 108KB (uncompressed)
- Released on 8 Apr 2004
- Suggested by Andrew Lee
Angry IP Scanner is a fast IP scanner that can ping a range of IP addresses to check if they are alive, then optionally resolve hostnames, scan ports, etc. The program is useful for network administrators to monitor and manage their networks.
Note: Current versions of this program require Java. Until this is tested as portable, we are linking to the previous non-Java version.
| Category: | |
| Runs on: | Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10 |
| Writes settings to: | Windows registry. But given the nature of the application, I think it can be accepted as portable. An option is provided to delete registry entries upon user's request. |
| License: | GNU GPLv2 |
| How to extract: | Download IPscan221.EXE to a folder of your choice and launch. |

Baas: no prob, thanks for direct-linking the 32 and 64-bit versions. Adding a notice about the adware version.

In spite of the adware issues, I think this is the easiest-to-use and to setup CPU temperature application. It's on all my PCs and I've never had a problem with it. Just set it and forget it. The digital temperature display in the system tray is very visible and useful when resource-heavy apps are running. I'm surprised this isn't rated higher. |
BinText v3.00
billon on 3 Apr 2019 Change history
- 37KB (uncompressed)
- Released on 12 Dec 2000
- Suggested by __philippe
BinText is a file text scanner / extractor that helps find character strings buried in binary files. The program can extract text from any kind of file and display plain ASCII text, Unicode (double byte ANSI) text, as well as Resource strings. Additional useful information for each item is included in the "Advanced" mode. Uniquely, the program will show both the file offset and the memory offset of each string found.
Although primarily targeted for programmers, it can be used by anyone interested in ferreting out character strings buried within binary files.
Note: Although updated versions of the program exist, the 3.00 version is listed for reasons described in forums.

Here is an old (2006) but interesting narrative about using Bintext for viewing Unicode strings in executables.
