winPenPack: Portable Software Collection

winPenPack is a project that aims at collecting the most frequently used and most popular open source applications made portable, so that they can be executed without installation from any USB Flash Drive or Hard Disk. The winPenPack suites offer a wide range of portable applications like office tools, internet tools, multimedia tools, development tools, security applications and other frequently used utilities. Everything you need, completely free, open source and portable!

Portable applications included in the winPenPack suites do not require any installation, do not leave their files or settings on the host computer, and can be easily transferred to another computer through any external device, such as a removable hard disk drive or a USB flash drive.

All you have to do is connect a USB flash drive to any free USB port on your host PC, and you will have your collection of pre-configured and ready-to-use programs instantly available, grouped in categories and executable through a user-friendly menu interface similar to the Start Menu, the winPenPack Menu. It will be exactly as if you are working on your own PC, with web browsers, e-mail clients, image and drawing editors, chat clients, multimedia tools, PC maintenance and security tools, school and development tools, etc. Everything you need, completely free! All these features make winPenPack extremely useful in any situation.

winPenPack Editions
Depending on your USB flash drive capacity, you can choose between winPenPack Essential and winPenPack Full, containing a collection of the best open source software available on the Internet, modified to achieve perfect software portability and divided into categories: Graphics, Multimedia, Internet, Office, System, Security and Utilities. You can also create your own winPenPack Personal by following our Tutorial, an option that allows you to integrate into the winPenPack package your favorite software programs, and to customize wPP to suit your needs.

winPenPack on your hard drive
winPenPack can be used both from a USB flash drive or directly on your PC hard drive; in the latter case, there is no need to install any programs or files. Once you have downloaded the desired edition from the download section, all you have to do is run the setup, or simply uncompress the ZIP archive into a folder of your choice: it will be immediately possible to run any application available in the wPP collection you chose.

Two software categories
Individual programs are available for free download in the X-Software and Portable Software sections; they do not require any installation and do not leave their files or settings in the host computer. X-Software in particular have been designed and created specifically by the winPenPack Team, as they are not originally portable apps: they have been made portable by means of X-Launcher, a universal launcher. In the Portable Software section you will find exclusively native portable applications (they automatically save their settings in their own folders).
