I would not consider this as a repair utility but CCleaner is a definite essential for me wherever I go. Since you are going to put the applications on a portable flash drive, you might want to consider the Portable version that is available for it.
Hope that helps.

Note: Visit your local Barnes & Noble/other bookstore and look in the computer section for Scott Mueller's Upgrading and Repairing PCs (should be 20th Ed. by now). It is at least 3 inches thick! Pc-Check is recommended in it.
PC Check conveniently fits onto only 1 disk, giving over 500 tests for professional computer diagnostic software.

Isn't that a bit of overkill?

Newegg was actually sold out of the 16GB, I had to go with the 32GB. Aside from just repair tools I use it to store ISOs for VMs. It's just nice to have almost "unlimited" storage in your pocket.

-- Goku | Thanks, I've added it.
I've also added PortableApps which comes with a couple of handy tools.
Anyone else?

Free and opensource progs (100 or more in one suite?). I have it but mainly for looking at the range of functions, not fiddling with my machine http://www.lupopensuite.org/index.htm

And if every PC user had a real brain, there would no use for his repair suite and a lot less malware threads here.
Isn't that a nice thought? | | | Moderator with 96,644 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: South Eastern PA, USA Experience: Advanced age & experience |
