Autoruns v14.11

Special on 9 Feb 2024
  • 2MB (uncompressed)

Autoruns shows programs that run during system bootup or login, as well as entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility.

A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).

Alternatively, Autoruns Portable is stealth and will only show the EULA once.

Though v. 13.93 is available here, at Portable Freeware, the MS site only has v. 13.91 . Is this version again being recalled by MS?

dmiranda on 2021-04-24 23:08

It doesn't work on XP anymore

Oh, come on—2.8 MB is "large"? Is this the '90s again? :?)

lwc on 3 Feb 2024

KeePass is a password manager that helps you store and 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. You need only remember one single master password to unlock the whole database, which is encrypted using AES and Twofish algorithms. The program includes a strong automatic password generator, expire dates, customized icons and categories etc.

Note that available plug-ins may not be portable.

I recommend using KeePass v2 series, because of the flexibility it gives.

Mixture on 2016-03-11 16:17

Since KeePass upgraded to 2.32 and finally has the encryption algorithm plugin, SERPENT, I switched from portable Password Safe 3.38.01 to portable KeePass 2.32 with TwoFish, Serpent, GOST, and Salsa20 encryption algorithm plugins.

@Orca: TPFC is an entirely volunteer site; what you describe is the result of past policy that has since been changed. Feel free to submit a KeePass 2 entry. Or post in the forums calling attention from the moderator team.

FreeFileSync Portable v6.2

webfork on 27 Sep 2020
  • 9MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 5 Feb 2014
  • Suggested by bassiliin

FreeFileSync is a folder comparison and synchronization tool. It supports filters, file sizes greater than 4GB, delete-before-copy for large sync operations, and creation of batch files for automated synchronization. After compare process (by date or content) operations can be customized on a file-by-file basis.

FreeFileSync Portable is in PortableApps.com Format, automatically adjusting paths.

Notes:

  • The latest version of this program is adware (offers for installation of 3rd party software), may not be open source, and locks itself to a specific path (only the drive letter may change), but a more recent version of this program (v7.9) can be made portable. Note that the update check will run whenever the runtime path changes even if you disable it.
  • FreeFileSync versions 6.3 and later can not be run from a portable menu or scheduling software due to a unfixed bug in the app.

Category:
Runs on:Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10

Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: Yes
License: GPLv3.
How to extract: Download the self-extracting EXE to a folder of your choice. Launch FreeFileSyncPortable.exe.

I liked this utility very much, but it stopped being portable to non-donors (being a donor in Brazil is complicated for many reasons). I looked for other similar utilities. Here I found fastcopy, I found it interesting. I had the happiness of finding SyncFolders, which is also portable. You can find it here http://www.syncfolders.elementfx.com. I think portablefreeware.com could add it here.

Midas on 2017-01-25 13:07

@wagner reatto: SyncFolders has been suggested at the Forum (see https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22039) where software garners more attention and testing. É só uma dica aqui do sítio... ;)

FileMenu Tools v7.0.5

webfork on 8 Dec 2016
  • 14MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 27 Feb 2016
  • Suggested by pajenn

FileMenu Tools customizes the context menu of Explorer, adding built-in utilities for file and folder operations. Users can add customized commands that run external applications, copy/move to a specific folder or delete specific file types; customize the "Send to..." submenu; and enable/disable the commands which are added by other applications to the context menu.

The built-in utilities allow the user to run a given program with arguments, copy/move to a folder, copy path, UNC path, Internet path, name or content to clipboard, view or change attributes, split/join a file, register/unregister a DLL, find and replace, advanced rename, synchronize two folders, delete locked files, create symbolic link, calculate and verify SHA/MD5 checksums, shred files, change folders icon, and many more.

Supports 32 or 64-bit automatically. Note that this program has gone shareware so we are linking to the last freeware version (thanks billon) and Userfriendly).

Category:
Runs on:Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10
Writes settings to: Application folder
Dependencies: Administrator rights (to register and unregister the shell extension)
Stealth: ? No. Windows settings are saved to the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LopeSoft.

Path portability: Requires manual entry of relative path (eg. ..\..\personal\work.doc)
License: Freeware (Donations accepted)
How to extract: Warning: The installer version is adware. Make sure you are using FileMenuTools-portable.exe with the following process:
  1. Download the self-extracting EXE to a folder of your choice
  2. To use the program, launch Register FileMenuTools.exe to register the shell extension
  3. Right-click on an item in the Explorer to see the menu
Other functions:

  • Close/remove: launch Unregister FileMenuTools.exe
  • Configuration: launch FileMenuTools.exe to or choose Configure FileMenu Tools from the menu.
What's new? Fixed bugs:
  • Sometimes the separators was not enabled.
  • In Calculate and verify checksums: the calculated checksum field was not updated when calculating a new checksum.
  • In Advanced renamer: the preview was not updated when changing the selected item of combo boxes with mouse or keyboard.
  • Other minor.

License: Freeware
How to extract:
  1. Download the installer and extract to a temporary folder

  • Improved appearance of tabs in config UI.
  • Several internal optimizations.
  • Fixed a bug where it was possible for the update checking function to return an incorrect result.

I have some problems with the install. I have extracted it as instructed. Neverthe less i constantly get the Following warning "Required file not found! Please reinstall AutoClipX.
Any suggestions?

I am Baas on 2013-10-20 03:53

@Prompt24

"3.3.0.0 - 17-OCT-2013

AutoClipX has been re-licensed as Shareware."

My guess... the registration file is missing.

There is a new version 0.9.2 available, but only the setup version. Extracting does not work for me.
I assume that it will get payware when it reaches 1.0

bajaatan on 2011-04-19 13:22

UniversalExtractor does extract, but program is in DEMO MODE. It will run but "save settings" will not work. There is a lot of free portable shutdown timers.
