How has used this? or uses it regularly on a jump drive?

Some of the apps look handy to have with you on site.

i used to use the package but it doesn't handle sub folders, everything needs to hang off the main app folder so categorizing (disk tools, av tools etc) can't be achieved. That kind of thinking went out with DOS 2.0. i gave it away after a while and just set up my thumb drive sensibly using some of the useful portable apps.

GE Geek Toolkit makes much more sense from a tech point of view. It has a little launch app but more importantly the tools are categorized in folders so it's very easy to find what you need. It also uses a great update tool.

I use Lupo pen suite, similar sort of thing.

I use GEGeek. Really useful.

I use Sardu and customise it with software that I use regularly.

Geek toolkit with me in Windows 10 says it has a virus... ;s

Call it overkill (and I guess you would be right), but I keep Portable Apps and Geek Toolkit on my working 32 Gig drive.

Actually, I do find myself using Windows Repair Toolbox most of all, however. Even as the break/fix model is crashing and burning, there are a lot of great tools available.

I use the launch menu from Hiren Boot CD to launch portable applications that are in 7zip archives. In this way, they can run any portable application offline or online (in miniXP or installed Windows).

I used the PA launcher for a while. I found it slow and clunky. Now I just extract individual portableapps and use them without the launcher.

Have used it in the past with success but not in a while. Just checked their site out and might be worth loading it up again.

Blimey. Old thread alert!

That's likely because it contains all the Nirsoft password utilities.

Probably figured that by now. Since the post was from 2016.
