Portable applications are useful especially when travelling or using different computers when on the go. Chances are, the computer or laptop you will be using or borrowing doesn't have the apps that you usually use that is inside your own PC or laptop. Good news is there are "USB apps", programs that can fit into a USB key memory that can be loaded from the USB to any PC or laptop. Below are the hand picked apps!
Supported operating systems:
Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 7, each 32-bit and 64-bit,This handy little program uses a master password to safeguard all your valuable login information. Once passwords have been stored, they can be dragged and dropped into text boxes to save having to retype them in future.
System Requirements:
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, WINE on Linux/UNIX

My personal favourite, no computer would be complete without a file-zipping utility. 7-Zip Portable is not only compatible with the ZIP format, but also RAR, ISO, CAB, ARJ and many more, so almost every compressing eventuality is catered for.
System Requirements:

Tabbed browsing is still present, as is support for extensions, and being able to store Bookmarks on a USB drive makes it easy to access all your favourite websites from any computer with an internet connection. It’s not only portable but lightning fast too.
