SearchMyFiles lets you Search Windows without Leaving Traces

May. 13th, 2009 By Karl L. Gechlik

I recently had to perform a search on a computer that is not connected to our network and I was not allowed to leave any trace behind that I was there, installed any applications or ran any searches on the machine. I had to search the machine for all files created in the last 5 days and save my results.

Make Microsoft Remote Desktop A Portable App

Jan. 17th, 2009 By Jorge Sierra

Remote Desktop LogoMicrosoft Remote Desktop is one of those great day-to-day tools that I use quite often. If you use multiple Windows computers in different locations, it allows you to connect to them and use them as if you were sitting directly in front of them. If you access computers remotely from guest machines where you use portable apps, you can make Remote Desktop a portable application with relative ease.

A Free Portable Alternative To Windows Scheduled Tasks

Jan. 14th, 2009 By Karl L. Gechlik

This oldie but goodie has been around since before the turn of the century….yes I have been waiting patiently to say that one

Freebyte Task Scheduler is a simple portable 219KB download, with no installation required Windows only. It is an alternative to Windows Scheduled Tasks which you can use to schedule any script, program, or document to run at a time that is most convenient for you. Scheduled Tasks starts every time that you start Windows XP and runs in the background, and it starts each task that you schedule at the time that you specify when you create the task.

You might be asking yourself why you would want to replace something that you never use? The answer should be because this is easier to use and you can bring it to any Windows machine you are working on.
