There are some useful tools which I use (like Gimp and explorer++portable) from http://www.portableapps.com. All of which I can run from a thumb drive.

I recently discovered allmyapps ( http://allmyapps.com/ ), a tool thats similar to ninite, but closer to an actual package manager like the one included with ubuntu. Its great for bulk installs and also checks for updates (unlike the free version of ninite), even works with software you’ve already installed.

And iobit uninstaller is great (and portable) for doing bulk uninstalls.

@ Fry:

Thank you sir! I did not know about this one. Definitely going into my toolkit!

@ ST/op:

Heh, I like how Windows xKill is hosted on DeviantArt of all places. lol

Also, sorry about the Danish thing. I have no clue why that would happen. Does it give you a specific error message? Could you post screenshot / error dump /stack trace?

My bug tracker is here.

Of the top of my head, I’m thinking that maybe some paths are different… Or maybe it blows up because character encoding on paths in strings. :/

@ Douglas:

I fixed the link. :) Also, nice – I did not know about KonBoot.

@ Grzechooo:

You mean this one? Wow, do you think they could put more badges on that front page? ;)

It’s a great list, I’ve already known about Sysinternals and NirSoft tools, but I hear for the first time that there’s a thingie called PST.
Also, in a case of mess in devices, you can also use Device Remover. Not sure how it treats unknown devices though.

In a similar vane to Ophcrack, one we sometimes have to use on client computers when they fail to tell us the password to logon and we can’t get in touch with them is Kon Boot. Burn it to a disc, boot from it, it does some magical jiggery-pokery, and Windows appears to load as normal. When prompted for a password on the logon screen, just hit Enter. And it logs you in.

Unfortunately, you need to pay for it to get it work on Windows 7 or 64 bit versions of Vista, but it is an awesome little tool.

(Also, your Memory Viewer link is broken :) )

We run Linux servers (RHEL) with (mostly) Windows clients:
Putty (SSH client for Windows)
ConnectBot (SSH client for Android)

Also Windows xKill can be handy sometimes!

Another distro of GNU utilities for Windows, GOW, comes in a single installer.

BTW: I’ve been trying the excellent ‘Luke Setup Assistant’ ;), but it failed to run on any danish-language computers (both XP and 7). English lang works OK.
