PortableApp: Windows Mixer

PortableApps MixerWell I guess I am just bored, so here is another pointless PortableApp. This one opens up your Windows XP Mixer… I really like the PortableApps software and I can pack a lot on my 8GB USB memory card.

As always this has only been tested on Windows XP and is not approved or endorsed by PortableApps.com. Again there is no installer, but it is quite easy to install… just unzip and copy the folder to your ‘\PortableApps\’ directory on your removable drive. Then choose ‘OPTIONS -> REFRESH APP ICONS’ and it should be available in your PortableApps menu.

You can download it here.

Game Controllers PortableApp

Once again there is no installer, but it is quite easy to install… just unzip and copy the folder to your ‘\PortableApps\’ directory on your removable drive. Then choose ‘OPTIONS -> REFRESH APP ICONS’ and it should be available in your PortableApps menu.

I have only tested this on Windows XP. You can get it here.

Source code is included.

Some Programs I like (Windows)

Yes, I use Linux for most things, but I have a dual-boot set up between Fedora and Windows XP. I play a few games that are Windows only, so I have to keep Windows around…

I have found some useful programs over the years and thought I would share a few of my favorites with you (in no particular order). These are all (currently) free or free for personal use.
