I rarely leave home without my flashdrive in hand. It's basicaly a Windows workstation without the OS or hardware; I get my own complete program stack at any machine I sit down infront of.

Hardware drivers for all my personal computers and any drivers I need once or more for a client's machine.

Dos:
devload, mouse.com
Scorched Earth
Terminate terminal program (modem and telnet)
rar cracker, zip cracker, john the ripper
arj, rar, zip, diskfree, filefind, NTFS Reader

Damn Small Linux emulated, WindowsCE emulated, XWin32 client for Xwindows
various portable applications from portableapps.com
netfor2, nPop, mIRC, Net Send, popTest
ms terminal client, openSSH, servu Manager, warftp manager, mTelnet, vncViewer
various network utilities (anything that will run from a folder without install basicaly)
Filezilla, SlimFTP Server, wsFTP
Winsock and TCP Repair Utility, wntipcfg, xtime
baby webserver, httrack and portableapps like XAMPportable
Audacity, Blender3d, coolplayer, SB Monolog, Exact Audio Copy, GIMP, JHead, media player classic, VLCportable, xmPlay win32

various password utilities, key finder, wasp
ClamAV, FIX-CIH Virus Recovery

Not all tech tools but with 4 gig flashdrives the size of trident gum, I'd include the kitchen sinc if it wasn't so heavy to carry. heck, I've still plenty of room to include whatever utility I discover a use for or odd drivers.

Now to read the other postings incase there's more for me to download.

(edit): to add
Also, any installs (legally shareable) for regular programs that won't run from a removable drive and single folder including:

AVG free, Kepher Bazooka, lavasoft Adaware
MS Uninstall Utility winNT & win98, TweakUI and the previously mentioned archive of hardware driver installs.

is a subtle but Verrrrrrry powerful self-contained file manager like we all used to use back in the days of DOS and early Windows. I had a similar (identical) prog that ran on my Amiga.

You can Google for it or just go to www.netez.com/2xExplorer where you'll find two versions:- the new one is called Explorer2 (as in Explorer squared) but it, sadly, reverts to the M$ search routines. The older, but I think better, 2xExplorer has its own built-in search facility and it knocks M$ into oblivion.

Think of 2xExplorer as Windows Explorer but with TWO visible file directory windows open simultaneously, it's far easier when moving files around if you can see where they're going in detail.

The build you want is "1.4.1.12"

Oh yeah, - and it's free. Enjoy.

AVG 7.5 (free version)
Spybot S&D
Ad-aware
Firefox
Latest java runtime
CoreFTP
gvim 7.0
Putty
OpenOffice

It's a Linux distro and can easily fit on a 256MB (or smaller) thumb drive, depends on which flavour, I like the earlier 1.08rc1 version, small - about 70mb, but there are many flavours depending on what takes your fancy, or you can remaster your own, suitably customised.

With it, I can load an OS without touching the host OS at all (in fact there need not even be any bootable hard drives) and is the swiss army knife to end all swiss army knives. Excellent automatic hardware detection included.

Well, except for Hiren's Boot CD and UBCD, they are very useful too. I have often rescued completely unusuable systems with these: They can all be loaded from a CD too, but I find that thumb drives take up less space in ones pocket
