 This is a file manager, yes, another one. Strictly, it's not free - it's 'nagware' but you can use it indefinitely if you put up with the nags. It's merits are ... it's very good for keyboard (as opposed to mouse) working; it has a very good folder synchronisation facility; and it can be installed on a SB stick.
+The main TotalCommander page is at http://www.ghisler.com/ and the USB instructions are at http://www.ghisler.com/usbinst.htm
+First, install the TotalCommanderLauncherPortable program.
+Then install TotalCommander into the empty PortableApps/TotalCommanderLauncherPortable/App/TotalCommander folder.
+Finally, copy the contents of the totalcmd folder up into the TotalCommander folder and delete the now empty totalcmd folder.
+Yes, it's not exactly a smooth installer, maybe that's why TC is mostly used by geeks ...
+==== MailStore Home ====
+Make sure you get the Home version - http://www.mailstore.com/en/mailstore-home.aspx - and not the trial of the full version.
+Just run it, you will get options for normal or partable installation. Thee latter will show all your drives and also 'Other', using this you can install it into PortableApps\MailStoreHome (you will have to create the folder) and then run it from your PortableApps launcher.

 ==== GenViewer ====
-GenViewer - http://www.mudcreeksoftware.com/ - is a very useful GEDCOM viewer program. The paid-for version has the ability to create a package of itself and a GEDCOM file that you can send to friends. There is alsoo a CD version that can be usefully added to your PortableApps menu.
+GenViewer - http://www.mudcreeksoftware.com/ - is a very useful GEDCOM viewer program. Regrettably :-? the CD version is too clever to be run from a USB disk. The paid-for version (is well worth the money and) has the ability to create a package of itself and a GEDCOM file that you can send to friends. For convenience, put the created EXE file in a folder (any folder, mine's called GV) within PortableApps and your file will appear in the PortableApps launcher.
