Hey, I just found out that you can run Skype as a portable app. Maybe I'm the last person on earth to find this out, but in case not, here are the instructions:

• On your USB drive, create a folder called Skype
• Copy skype.exe over to that folder
• Create a folder inside your new Skype folder called Data
• Make a batch file called skype.bat, containing only this line:

• skype.exe /datapath:"Data" /removable

• Move the batch file into the Skype folder on your USB drive

Now you have Skype on a stick. You will probably have to sign in to your Skype account, at least the first time you use it on the stick.

PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet and Rlogin network protocols

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html

These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY implements the client end of that session: the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs. In really simple terms: you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else.

GMail Drive Shell Extension

http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer.

GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag´n´drop files to.

Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with.

With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again. When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account.

The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the GMail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures.

But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer. You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag´n´drop like you´re used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish to create a filter in GMail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the GMAILFS letters) to your archived mail folder.

Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There´s still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size must be less than 65 characters), and it doesn´t make full use of the secure internet protocols available.
