Do you have a time or a volume tariff? Do you use call by call? Then you should use this Tool if you
want have control over your online-time, your traffic and the costs. The data traffic is picked out

FreeCommander
File managment under Windows can be a little circuitous if you have opened a couple of folders and if you have more than one hard drive and partition respectively. I compared some free file managers and FreeCommander is the one which I like most. Two of the features which are of capital importance for me: The window of FreeCommander is tiled in two parts so that I can view two folders on different drives at the same time. The second important thing is that I don't need a file archiver cause you can pack (ZIP and CAB), unpack (ZIP, CAB and RAR) and browse thru archives. Some more features: Integrated file shredder and FTP client, create and compare MD5 checksums, compare and synchronize folders, copy and move files per Drag & Drop.
Here is a Screenshot to get an impression.
For Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP and Vista.
Version 2009.02:
Installer (2.29 MB)
Zip Archive (2.14 MB).
Also available: MSI installer, U3 version and a Portable edition (.paf.exe) but you can extract the normal Zip Archive to your USB devices (hard drives or sticks) and naturally you can use the extracted program on your internal drives. If you can download software which is completely (not only the installer) available within an archive (e.g. zip, rar or 7z) it is already portable!

Portable Office Exec
Portable Office is a great program to use various programs directly from removable storages like USB devices.
Have a look at some Screenshots.
As you can see on the last screenshot, I integrated some progs of my own choice, which you can download (here on my pages) and use with Portable Office. For example: Download ClearProg (zip archiv) and extract it to Portable Office\ClearProg on your USB-stick. Then click on My Choice - My Settings and set the path to ClearProg.exe and extract the program icon. Attention! A path like E:Programs\...\ClearProg.exe will not be found on other computers. Have a look at my PortOff.ini for working pathes.
If you want to run Visual Basic applications you will need administrative rights under Windows NT/2000/XP (with or without Portable Office).
