Posted: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 09:36:58 Post Subject: Thumb Drive Based Applications |
|
|
I know this isn't a complete directory, but the idea is cool:
http://portableapps.com/
Basically, this site has standard applications that have been modified to run from a thumb drive, with no Windows registry entries required.
I have downloaded NVU and Filezilla, and they work well, and look pretty much like the real deal.
Anyone have links to other sites with apps that can run from thumb drives? |

Why put an app on a thumbdrive? Why not put a whole OS on a thumbdrive now that many BIOS offer the "boot from USB" support? Slap a small linux or BSD OS on tjhe thumbdrive and make LiveCDs a thing of the past |

I have many sites with tons of cool s#!7. Once I get home I'll post em.
I use my drive mostly for removing spyware and other unneeded crap on other people's computer. Don't want to install over 5 spyware removal programs on everyone's desktop that I slaved over finding for myself |
