RegASSASSIN V1.03

RegASSASSIN helps remove stubborn registry keys by automatically resetting the key's permissions and then deleting it.

Writes settings to: Windows registry. On first run, it asks you to accept the license and writes a flag in the registry. I am assuming you are not going to run this on a daily basis, but only during rare moments, so I am accepting it as portable.

MinishoterRS Delta

MinishoterRS Delta is an amazing Japanese shmup that does everything right: lots of levels (including hidden ones), multiple selectable ships (including unlockable ones), great retro music and sound effects, optional boss battle mode for practice and plenty of other hidden extras. The game is played in very low resolution, though this can be magnified with the Q, W and E keys. Though Japanese in origin, most of the in-game text is in English and is thus quite playable without any knowledge of the Japanese language.

How to extract: Download the zip package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch the program by double-clicking MsRsDelta.exe.

KeePass V1.10

KeePass is a password manager that helps you manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encrypuion algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).

Note: Since KeePass V2.x will require the .NET framework, I will only track changes to KeePass V1.x for the database.

HelpNDoc Personal V1.12

HelpNDoc is a WYSIWYG tool for creating HTML help files (CHM format) and help web sites. It comes with a built-in word processor for authoring pages within the project.




Writes settings to: None. Well, it does write dockable toolbar config to the registry, but I don't consider this to be critical to the functionality to the app, so I am accepting it as portable. But for those of you who really, really, really love to move the toolbars around in a certain way, this app is not portable for you.

Dependencies: Microsoft HTML Help Workshop

How to extract: Download the installer and extract to a folder of your choice. The application files are located in the {app} folder. Launch helpndoc.exe.

Xpadder V2008.1

Xpadder assigns keystrokes to your gamepad, giving you the ability to use your gamepad with any application you want (including older games with poor or no gamepad support such as DOS games). It also supports multiple gamepads, so playing multiplayer games with individual gamepads is a breeze. Combine this program's powerful features with its intuitive design and the result is an application that no one owning a gamepad should be without.



Writes settings to: Application folder, though some editing of the .ini file is necessary for complete portability.

How to extract: Download the zip package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch the program by double-clicking XPadder.exe. Run the application and close it, then edit the Xpadder.ini file located in the application's folder and replace all paths with relative equivalents. This will also be necessary if new controllers are added, as recent controllers and multiple controllers will be saved with absolute paths. Hopefully in a future version relative paths can be an optional default.

Path portability: Requires manual entry of relative path (eg. ..\..\personal\work.doc)

License: Free for personal use

System Requirements: Win98 / WinME / Win2K / WinXP / Vista
