russdev Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Question that saw on LifeHacker and as I am putting together my new memory stick (every so often go through it and start again ). So thought would ask it here what is on your usb memory stick aka the essential apps etc. Russell
Nij.UK Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I would probably say some sort of standalone AV scanner, maybe a free one.
Norphy Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 DOS boot files alongside memtest86+, several Dell BIOS updates, the DOS ghost client and NDIS2 drivers for network cards including Broadcom, Intel and Realtek. I also have Windows NIC drivers for the same, wireless card drivers, a copy of Netstumbler and lots of micellaneous rubbish

File recovery programs. Tons of batch files and vbs stuff. My CV. Pictures of my last holiday. Incriminating photos of colleagues (mainly drunk at parties). Podcasts. All me website files.
deano Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Mines the same as everyone else, with an added program of office 2007 portable. No install needed, runs from the USB and gets you unstuck if the PC has no Word

No install needed, runs from the USB and gets you unstuck if the PC has no Word Hi Deano where did you get your copy of MS Office 2007 Portable? One of my colleagues downloaded it from a reputable looking site but I think he got a virus and a trojan for his money as well! Thanks.
CyberNerd Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 My USB boots the trinity rescue kit - for virus scanning, resetting passwords, copying files imaging to remote servers and general fixing. I also have ntfs.sys and a windows ext2 driver along with most of the portable apps range. http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=1&front_id=12 http://portableapps.com/

russdev Posted September 20, 2007 Author Posted September 20, 2007 Sorry going reposting this message as first one was was string of words that made no sense. Sorry very tied and I am doing sims upgrade. @Techguy Don't worry we just saying now so we don't have to edit posts later on. As if it comes from certain source then more than just office on there and don't fancy all problems associated with it. Russell

K.C.Leblanc Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Mostly my work area from my old school, I've also got Newsid and Wavehounds fart machine.
michael.fre Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 ghost boot video and sound drivers for most of the pc's
localzuk Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I don't keep a key with stuff on like that, as the programs are updated too often. So I just pop them on when I need them, and most things can just be downloaded at the time anyway. I mainly use my key for quickly transferring files between computers, but even then that is quite rare. The network areas do that job quite well.
Domino Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 For private jobs I've got the USB pc repair system from dailycupoftech on a stick http://dailycupoftech.com/usb-drive-systems/3/ its got loads of small trouble shooting systems on there to give you a fighting chance at doing something about the spyware-riddled beast you're presented with on walking through the door
Friez Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Currently: Word Documents, Powerpoints, a highly edited Mp3 and the key for the wireless in a text document The contents of the stick change depending on need!
