Free Portable Applications This is a list of free portable
applications, software programs that either:
* do not require any kind of installation onto a computer
* if there's an installation procedure, the resulting directory can be
copied into a portable device and run without dependencies. This makes it ideal to
be stored on removable storage such as a USB flash drive or portable
hard drive and used on multiple computers. These applications
are ideal for persons traveling and unable to bring their own laptop
computers with them. By using these applications, you can
conveniently bring along with your your own bookmarks, email address
books, and other personal and important files. Additionally,
there is the added benefit of being able to use a public-use computer
without leaving behind your personal data such as where you have
browsed on the internet, etc.
Many applications
become portable very easily without special packaging. Most simple
applications can be made portable by simply copying the Program File
folder for that application to an USB stick. Attempt to run the
application on another PC to confirm it will work as a portable app. Now you can carry your favorite
computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and
more with you. Use them on any Windows computer. All without leaving
any personal data behind.
