As any geek can tell you, the smaller and more portable a gadget is, the
better that gadget becomes. You can't get much more portable than USB drives, which can be carried in a pocket, around the
neck, or even on a key chain. This, in and of itself, is already a pretty cool and a relatively inexpensive way to carry around
a few extra gigs of whatever it is you need to carry around. But there are ways to make your USB drive even more useful, and
these processes allow you to take many of the functions of your desktop with you to any computer you might want to use.
 You can find numerous programs designed to run specifically from a USB drive. Best of all, almost all these programs are free.
Simply install them on your USB drive and they're ready to travel with you anywhere. Here's a list of 55 of the most useful USB programs around.
Super list of portables...

other type of file as soon as the USB drive is inserted. In addition to the autorun functionality, the program also allows
you to quickly access the files on the USB drive(s) from the tray icon menu. Check out all the screen shots from Snap Files.

UltraShredder is a standalone, USB portable file shredder which deletes sensitive files by overwriting them with random characters,
saving it to disk each time, and then bypasses the recycle bin, thus acting as your personal, portable file shredder. If the
file were to be recovered by a data recovery program, they would only be able to see unintelligible characters on disk where
the file used to be. The program is a great tool to destroy sensitive data, and is very small with a minute memory footprint,
and makes no changes to your system whatsoever.
