Here's a list of most "stand-alone" programs mentioned here. Great work INONIT!

Hi, which programs you use which don't need to be installed? Also, how do integrate them in your unattended installation? DUREX diserves credit for his "Stand Alone" applications thread from where I gotten the idea. But I thougt there might be more interest for such a thread in the unattended section. Also, I'm willing to update this startpost once and every while to keep an up-to-date list of all programs. So please only post additions/corrections to keep this thread as maintainable as possible.

I'll begin by listing my "out-of-the-box" programs:

AccessEnum - Quickly view all insecure permissions settings
Autoruns - View which files run at startup
CDImage - ISO creator
Diskview - View where a file is scattered over a drive
FileMon - Realtime file monitoring
Hexplorer - Really good hexeditor, can even edits Disk sectors.
Hijackthis - Merijn's anti spy-ware tool
Metapad - Notepad replacement
mouserate - Check your mouse refreshrate in Hz
netscan - Quickly view all hosts on a network
pci32 - View PCI devices with information
procexp - Proces Explorer - Very enhanced Proces viewer
putty - SSH / Telnet client
RegMon - Monitor registry changes/accesses at realtime
ResHacker - Change resources in executables and dll's
Restoration - Restore deleted files
Rw - Remote Wake-up Utility
Sniffer - IP tools (network sniffer / prober / monitoring)
vcswap - Enable/Disable installed codecs

I integrate these programs by simply unrarring a rar-file (which contains them all) them to %SystemDrive%\Tools en creating a shortcut in the quicklaunch to this folder.

Addition: Only free programs please!

Actually.. when I said I was going to update my startpost to maintain a list of all programs... I was lying!

This is waaay to much work! Just let everybody read the entire thread!

Keep up the good progams though

[durex]

My main goal was find apps you can run from USB key and use on any PC... some of the programs posted above dont meet this criteria without addtional configuration... The couple mozilla apps (firefox, thunderbird) for example need additional configuration if you want to be able to use them on a usb on any pc since by default they create entries in the Application Data folder...

I guess I'll try to keep the other thread alive with only programs of this nature....

[Incroyable HULK]

We should do the same concept for Games! Boy I hate having to reinstall all my stuff...

For Example:
- Call of Duty
- Doom III
- Homeworld I & II
- Max Payne 2
- Midtown Madness I & II
- Medal of Honor Allied Assault
- Price of Persia
- Star Wars BattleFront

Of course sometimes you need a NOCD patch but it is worthwhile!

cdex

i put them into C:\Programs\ and put named shorcuts in the SYSTEM32 folder, to call them

so Start, Run, "cdex" would load cdex, "mpc", loads media player classic, and so forth
