Anyone know why i can't seem to scan ESET SysInspector's webpage?
http://www.eset.eu/support/changelog-eset-sysinspector
(which btw would be a good addition to this website)

@shaka - I don't think it likes the user agent for WebVersions (or WGET for that matter), a web proxy seems to work:

ESET SysInspector;;1.2.021;http://www.surfwithease.com/index.php?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eset.eu%2Fsupport%2Fchangelog-eset-sysinspector&hl=1c4;false;

Thank you for the idea, it explains the error alright.
I found another suitable page though:
http://www.eset.ie/download/sysinspector.php
Works ok.

Multi Path Files Finder 1.00 is my preferred file search utility. Reasonably small, flexible, and efficient. Does not use a (undesireable, for me) index database; but is fast nonetheless -- Searched C:\ and all subdirectories for "*.exe" files -- found 1,774 files in 15 seconds.

Read "stuck print jobs" @ http://jesusnjim.com/using-computers/stuck-print-jobs.html

Batch file that does the same is available @ http://jesusnjim.com/using-computers/flushprinters.bat

Not bad!
The BAT file basically stops the spooling process, then deletes the contents (files) located in the system32\spool\printers directory
then starts the spool process again.

A completely useless program that gives you no information about the security threats it "detects" and no idea how to fix them. Skip this one.

My virus scanner detected a downloader (coat.dll) which I assume is part of the test suite.

The application runs, with a small window of tests and vulnerable / passed status, but once run, you have no idea what each test means, and no summary that you can save (no good for audits!). So, apart from then googling for info on "OLE" (for example), then it does little to help apart from cause more worry...

Next please...

This gives lots of info and comparing options. False virus alerts are explainable!
You can generate a html result/report with some help.
I've used the app on several systems running xp3 vista2 with diff. firewall and hips settings. If you're smart you must try this one to give you an idea of your safety/security. Thanks Comodo

tried extracting the Softpedia Installer version & no go. Did a search for "task tome portable" & got no results for a portable version. When I searched for "taskTome portable" I got a page full of results. Many download locations for portable version 1.53. I can't believe the syntax made that much of a difference.

Well, I found the portable version on the wayback machine. It is version 1.52, so not quite the final version that was released, but good enough :)

I also found the final windows installer version 1.53 :)

I would recommend Sizer - http://www.brianapps.net/sizer.html - over this one.

There's a reason some program windows aren't re-sizable. You have to add code to resize the GUI controls properly otherwise the controls will get all mangled up. this would be useful for really horribly designed windows. (where text cuts off, and you have to vertical scroll)

@mark, some of us were lucky enough to buy and install vista, before win7 came out.

sounded useful for the reason i was looking for it in the first : the resizing of firefox's annoyingly small description box in bookmark properties window..what happened there was it resized alright, smaller. and when 'bigger' the dialog boxes stayed as were, just extra blank space. and yes, the readme does say it reads for last config. i suppose only when the program is on.
if anyone else has a solution to my problem, please tell =D

thank you for reading and sorry to bother you.

Links seem to be broken.

Emka: updated.

I'm actually glad this situation came up as I'd forgotten all about this program and have the exact sort of setup tproli is talking about: a monitor situation without a simple off button. Saves a lot of time and energy.

Tried it out and it solved my problem of a faulty power button at the front of the monitor. I have a lap-top connected to an external monitor.

The version downloaded (spring 2024) seems to be a portable version from 2009 and it stores settings locally in a configuration file Monoff4.ini.

I made some notes from my experience and information gathered from the web. The information may be useful to other users,

When run, Monoff4.exe puts your monitor into either a "Low Power" mode or a "Power Off" standby mode. Then the application exits.
The mode is determined by the configuration settings.

Monitor re-activation is by a keystroke.
Monitor re-activation can also be by mouse movement, depending on the configuration settings.

### Configuration Settings ###
Settings are stored in the file Monoff4.ini file that is present in the application directory. The configuration entries are in text format.
## To change settings
Press and hold the space bar and and double click on Monoff4.exe.
The configure mode is entered, release the space bar.
Note that settings are saved only if you click on the "Save settings" button.

A Hotkey can be assigned from within the properties tab of the applications's desktop shortcut.
For example:- Cntl Alt F12

Simple User, try to run the program with WinXP compatibility mode.

Probably should change the 'Website' link, it's redirecting.

Links changed to Archive.org -- thanks for taking the time to warn us, outatime. 8)

Works as advertised, but only as long as I didn't try using it while connected to internet through a dial-up line. I kept being disconnected every 30 seconds at best...

Used this program to successfully extract keys from an older backup of the Registry hive files. Followed an online guide which recommended it since it automatically tweaks the exported key file with the correct path for importing into the registry.

Link dead program no longer listed on website

Update it's found on the directory page for old software:
https://www.gaijin.at/en/download-directory?dir=old_software

looks like website is gone

can't find dl link

@billon and bitcoin: Couldn't find a mirror either. Added note to entry.

Download link updated.

@lautrepay

Thanks.


@Checker

Weird. None of us was served the .zip package upon clicking on the green download button. I don't know, maybe your machine already has the Tucows downloader.

@ I am Baas: Yes, that's weird, because I tried it later on other PCs and got only the installer.
Maybe it depends on the browser you use. I still use an old Opera-version (Opera@USB 10.0) for most of my work and there I got the ZIP.
On PC with Firefox 32.0.4, I got the installer

... that's weird!

@Baas Thats odd, the softpedia download has the same hashes as the top of page download

Fix for Error: Can't load icon. The current thread will exit.

Just rename the ibinwhateveryouhave.exe to iBin.exe

The primary purpose of Page Countster is to collect information from/about business (class) network laser printers. To that end the program does a pass/fail connection test to the lpr/lpd spooler port 515, which is typically open on any network print device.

Given that the Photosmart series inkjet printers are consumer class machines (which isn't a bad thing I just got one for my wife for christmas), they most likely have a very stripped down network interface (hence the failure).

Page Countster is also not designed to get readings from all 6 of the possible ink cartridges in some of the ink based machines. I may explore this later for taking reading off of a plotter and/or as network inkjets become more common.

Thanks for clearing that up Stoic Joker. That makes sense as Page Countster does see the HP LaserJet 2300 on my same home network without issue. It would be good to see this functionality in the future. It would make Page Countster more of a one stop shop for managing network printers.

It’s possible to run the app automatically and send the report via SMTP?

M3 alternative download link:

Doesn't convert both hashes to upper or lower case, so if your MD5 hash is uppercase, it will say they don't match even though they do.

cannot find it on the hp anymore, dl link invalid

download-buttons don't work. On https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?sc=217 the download-button gets the wrong programme (one from nirsoft).

Interesting, will try this. Has anyone tried this yet? Any feedback?

@abc - FLV Extract's output is the exact audio stream from the video. So if the audio output is AAC, the video was using AAC.

You might want to try Pazera Audio Extractor:
http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2049

It allows you to convert to MP3.

Or try Free Audio Extractor:
http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1392

No longer functional with recently downloaded FLV files, but will work with older (probably 2011 and before).

Awesome~ I'm sick of going to a website to find my IP.

when I use proxy the IP2 not work right,is display my router ip,not proxy ip

website seems to be down

Portable version can be downloaded from:
https://windows-7-in-a-box.en.uptodown.com/windows/download

Download link is pointing to the install version, try:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/Windows-Portable-Applications-EjectUSB.shtml

The download is a CNET installer. Here's a better link: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/Windows-Portable-Applications-EjectUSB.shtml

i forgot to test it before i posted it, lol

be sure you get the path right

tried it on my portable hd (2tb)
it is ok, but the optimization is lacking; it does some, but not alot
in order to put the portable software first, i put everything else in an 'x' folder and ran the defrag sorting by file/folder...
...then, when the portable apps are in the first position i switched to fill.. but jkdefrag doesnt fill smartly at all, so i switched to mydefrag
... using monthly data defrag and then switching to consolidate i achieved better results... you can do a defrag only alternating with consolidate to get better results
... finally, for a portable hard drive, i recommend defrag only option, as a regular maintenance... in fact, use it as the screen saver, on defrag only, all drives

This appears to be defunct. The portable version is no longer available to download from the website, and the website for the newer non-portable version no longer exists. v3.36 is still available from https://filehippo.com/download_mydefrag/4595/.

Here's some info from the FlashGot website:

These settings work for the Portable version of wxDownload Fast (the installable package is recognized by FlashGot out of the box):

Executable path:
P:\MyPortablePrograms\wxDownload Fast Portable\wxdfast.exe
Arguments template:
[--reference=REFERER] [--destination=FOLDER] [--list=UFILE]

Sorry. I can't get it to work with Portable Firefox either. Only with the Firefox installed locally.

Superb downloader the only problem is integration .
For mozilla it can be solved .
For any download link right click and copy link.

Site is for sale, not sure I want to try/use software that no longer has a website/support site. Just my 2¢. Not sure if webmaster wants to delete this program from the list of programs in their database.

SpyMe Tools is still available from http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/Windows-Portable-Applications-Portable-SpyMe-Tools.shtml ...

i just downloaded the zip file and avg caught a trojan from one of the files in the plugin directory

just a warning to others

chaneu, some info for you:

PortableFreeware excels in the number of available apps being that it has no input on the application development, it simply catalogues them and will catalogue freeware and open-source without discretion.

PortableApps work on open-source much more and there is a tighter regulation on releases. All apps from PortableApps have a 'app_portable.exe' NSIS script created executable frontloader with instructions for registry handling and application information disposal and being that they are the creators of the released portable versions, they can offer support on any issues of portability.

Although WinPCap is installed on launch of Wireshark Portable, it is uninstalled and cleaned up after the program closes. This is the purpose of the 'app_portable.exe' launcher, made by the PortableApps developers.

I am not a PortableApps developer or even an advocate, I am simply a guy who knows what the hell is going on in the programs I use. If you don't know about portability, don't comment on it.

And further more, stop posting that garbage on any page with 'Wireshark' on it. I don't want to correct every one of your docile assumtions, so stop bad-mouthing a damned good program.

By the way, Wireshark is a SourceForge project (God bless open-source), so the best place to get updates and so forth at any time is at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wireshark/files/
Look for the one named 'WiresharkPortable-(version).paf.exe'

Paf's are simply 7z self-executing archives of the program folder that have a script in them to look for a PortableApps suite layout on the root of all drives to set the extract location. This is not a requirement as the program folder is completely portable and can be extracted anywhere. Use the 'wireshark_portable.exe' from the program folder to launch.

This could be a nice 'Pendrive Menu' but I've had problems with lost menu data.
Also, it would be nice if, when set up with 2 or 3 different menus, you don't have to jump from the left to the right or top, bottom or the corners, to access a different menu. Perhaps using 'CTRL' or 'ALT' or 'Shift' etc together with the mouse might give the menu a bit more flexibility.

Mainly though, I would say sort out the stability problem of lost info.

Oh, just another thing.
When you try to get to the 'Hidden Menu Homepage' from the 'Info' tab within the program, you get a web site, [http://home.i-cable.com/lokinwai/], which seems to be Chinese.

Hm, the domain name runs out april 1 2010 - doesn't look as if the site has been updated in 7 years - wonder if this is the end of HoverIP

No - it got renewed for another year! *g*

I dont think this is real freeware. On their website it says "free trial".

HD Speed, which you can get at http://www.steelbytes.com IS actual freeware.

They must have changed the license recently. I just added a direct download link for the last free version that I have.
