• Must be free, with no registration numbers to enter because it's too much trouble when you switch machines as often as I.
  Must be able to be executed without an installer (e.g., creates registry entries/settings/etc on first run if it doesn't find them). I keep my freeware toolbox on a USB pen type drive and execute files on different machines frequently.
  Preferrably small EXE size for obvious, purest reasons
  Must actually serve a purpose and be something I use.

Same here

#D And from the author that brought you Yoda's Protector (http://yodap.cjb.net) comes Zero Dump, which is a window spy type tool which lets you drag-and-drop to, say, enable a disabled button on a dialog. Sadly, I'm not seeing it on his site, maybe I'm missing it. You may have to Google this one up...

Bahh! that program is too bad Psychophanta, this is much better:
K9 and it works not only for Outlook Express, it is only 77KB, one file only and no installer

Extended Operating Systme Loader (XOSL) it is an awesome boot manager similar to BootIt or BootStar, but XOSL is free. I am using it since 2001:

It has windowed and moused environment and lots of useful things to make a very customizable boot management.

Very nice! Wish I'd known about that sooner, but since I've already paid for System Commander, I'll stick with it.

Debian Linux is a free Linux distribution which is very nice and is the "parent" of Ubuntu. Debian is less bloated and I have even managed to get Debian with KDE installed in under ~400Mb.

The new Debian Etch will soon get released as "stable" so I would recommend in going to install Etch instead of Sarge, because Sarge is deprecated and Etch supports so much more stuff.. Also, Debian is the only distribution I know so far providing "Network Installation" CD's, which contain only the base system and the kernel and you need to download the rest (this is good to have a minimal installation and to have some sort of management of what's installed and what's not)

If you are interested in Debian, then go to
www.debian.org

And if you have Windows installed, you can install the Debian installer very simply:

Does anyone know about a good free HTA Form Editor? (and don't suggest Word 2007, it add 25k of junk for one control... - Hmmmm... and Word 2007 isn't free! )
