Running programs from a USB thumb drive

  • Imagine being able to take your favourite web browser and email client (containing all your email settings and contacts) wherever you go, and being able to use these programs on any Windows computer. With the advent of portable applications this has become a reality! Portable applications are completely self-contained programs (i.e. they do not need to be installed on a computer) which can run directly from portable media, primarily USB thumb drives. PortableApps.com is a website dedicated to releasing high-quality portable versions of open source software. Portable applications available on the website include Firefox Portable, Thunderbird Portable, OpenOffice Portable, plus many more. Make sure you check out portableapps.com and start taking your programs with you!

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
