Portable Software: These 100 tools run without installation

10.11.2018, 06:00 clock Download and get started by double-clicking! Portable programs hardly burden the PC and even start on external devices via an external USB drive.   install a program, it integrates perfectly with Windows: The installer unpacks it on the system partition and sets up shortcuts in the desktop and start menu for easy access. It also creates registry keys and entries with numerous settings. The downside: during an uninstall often remains back - prevent that with portable tools. The run without installation, dig less deeply and are usually removable without residue. In addition, the following recommendations run via USB stick via double-click on any PC. So you always have your working environment on the road!
Download: Portable programs on the go    Runs immediately: package for every situation
Since portable programs do not write discreetly into the registry, they hardly burden Windows. If such a file is not directly in the EXE format, it is in a ZIP archive: In this case, one-off unpacking occurs before use. Use the Windows context menu - or use 7-Zip Portable or IZArc2Go as an alternative . Some zipped programs load by double-clicking on the start file in the Explorer; this does not work for others, they are essential for unpacking. 

The popular CCleaner comes in the form of CCleaner Portable , which thoroughly cleans up the file system. Mostly, the tempo boost awaits you as you clean up your car. LibreOffice Portableis an everywhere office package including word processing and spreadsheet tool. In general, portable tools have all the functions of big siblings; In rare exceptional cases, there are some drawbacks ( Auslogic's Disk Defrag Portable 8.0.18.0 lacks some settings, which can be accessed in the normal version via "Settings> Program Settings").  Use Portable Tools with Dropbox everywhere
Save ready-made portable programs on a USB stick, the settings are retained. So you work on other PCs, the vacation notebook or after a Windows reinstallation seamlessly. It lacks comfort? Create program shortcuts on the desktop and in the start menu - which occupy hardly any memory and refer to the original EXE startup files. Ingenious: Anyone who uses a cloud service like Dropbox and stores portable software in the synchronization folder will use it on any computer connected via Dropbox; As the cloud sync downloads all files, the software works without relying on the internet. Make a change to device A, grabbing it by data synchronization a short time later to device B. 

More comfortable offer PortableApps Platform andLupo PenSuite: You provide your own software menu, from which you conveniently call portable tools. PortableApps Platform downloads the tools you want - select in a wizard by ticking. Lupo PenSuite already has programs in excess of 300 megabytes. Technically, portable tools store their settings in INI files - as they used to when Windows did not have a registry yet. Do not delete the INI or XML files of a portable program used for configuration data! It might rebuild it, but changed settings were lost. It makes more sense if something disturbs them: hide them via the properties dialog by clicking on "Hidden". Or you leave all the program files belonging to a portable tool in the corresponding folder and start the tool by creating a new desktop shortcut.  Complete operating systems without installation
LCISOCreator is recommended for saving CD copies : It writes volume contents 1: 1 to ISO images, so saving a Windows CD is no problem. Speaking of ISO: Almost every Linux is in this format; after transfer to CD, DVD or USB stick, Linux runs without installation - after booting from the data medium in so-called live mode. 

If you want such a mode for Windows, test WinToUSB [link to container 15300669]: It installs the system bootable on a stick, mimicking WindowsToGo from Windows Enterprise for free for companies. Advantage: Booting a PC gives Windows sole hardware access for high performance. Disadvantage: Windows Portable calls for too many used devices at some point, a re-activation. Alternatively, use Portable VirtualBox : install an operating system of your choice that runs parallel to the main Windows in its own window - and does not require any BIOS changes to boot. Because two systems share resources, virtualized Windows is lower.

Make all applications portable
If a favorite software does not exist in any instant tool variant, EvaLaze helps . You start the program, activate an analysis function and then go through the setup of the desired software. Then stop the recording. Based on the system change log, the tool generates a portable version. You may already be thinking: The program itself is portable. 

If that does not work, Portable VirtualBox remains : It encapsulates Windows so it becomes portable - just like any program installed in it. Your "real" Windows does not come into contact with tools installed in it.
These free tools are really easy
