List Of Small Useful Freeware Utilities & Applications.
 
Here is a list of some small freeware utilities which do not require installation, that I have compiled. I have restricted the list to tiny, installation-free, freeware, general utilities only. Just paste these Tiny's in a separate folder and use them. All of them worked in my Vista, but if you find difficulty in running them, try running them in the XP/SP2 compatibility mode. And if I have erred somewhere, I'd appreciate it, if you'd bring it to my notice.
