PortableApps Suite Light Edition

Reinstalling the Windows operating system is not so difficult - a few clicks and customizations, and you're done. However, what comes afterward can be very time-consuming: installing all the essential applications to get your computer up and running.

PortableApps Suite Light Edition is a pack that includes a wide range of portable tools that are required for your computer. It merely offers a fast, simple and effective solution.

Since installation is not required, PortableApps Suite Light Edition can be placed on a removable device (like a USB flash drive) and stored on any computer from where you can directly run its executable file.

More importantly, no changes are made to the Windows registry. Also, no leftover items can be found after removal.

PortableApps Suite Light Edition can be accessed from the system tray from where you can load a word processor, media player, web browser, instant messenger and other tools. These AbiWord, ClamWin, CoolPlayer+, KeePass, Mines-Perfect, Mozilla Sunbird, Pidgin, PNotes, Sudoku and Sumatra PDF – the portable versions.

You can directly access the 'Documents', 'Music', 'Pictures' and 'Video' folders, among others. Plus, you can backup and restore data, as well as use a search function. From the "Options" menu you can toggle between small and large fonts, install a new app from the computer or refresh app icons, hide desktop items, adjust the transparency level, as well as check the drive for errors and change the interface language.

The piece of software uses a low amount of system resources and has a good response time. No error dialogs have been displayed throughout our testing and PortableApps Suite Light Edition did not freeze or crash.
