miketechshow.com — This is from the Mike Tech Show. Download the zip file and unzip it to your USB drive and have a "ready-to-go" USB utility drive. Includes Portable Firefox, a ton of anti-virus and anti-spyware apps, PDF reader, PuTTY, media players, and a CD or DVD burning software. I always wanted to put one of these together.

Good utilities, I really like being able to get this all in one download. Also some other good things on this site, well worth checking it out.

Hmmm.... for developers, MingW Developer Studio (bundled with the C++ mingw compiler, of course) is portable, too. Just install, copy folder to another location, remove uninstall file(s) from copied folder, then put it to the USB & you're codin C++ on the go! Also, GIMP & Photoshop are portable as well.

"Also, GIMP & Photoshop are portable as well"I've found that Blender (at least the Windows version) is portable as well. Just copy the folder to the thumb drive.

Quite a lot of programs that have installers are portable I found (after a format, the programs I installed on the second drive still ran)I remeber WS_FTP running fine, but theres probobaly better options than that.. Also, some will make registery enteries etc, so aren't truely portable, but they work of any PC, just might leave some settings etcAnyway, cool link :)One thing thats not very obvious is the filesize of the stuff zipped is 64MB, unzipped it'll be about 75 I guess (It's just started downloading so I'm not sure)"how about someone else host this file i would download it but i'm not waiting for the slow ass connection"Whoever hosts the download will be slow if your connection sucks.. It's going 100kbs here, which is okay, just use a download manager if it's slow- Ben
