I use a program called roboforms to quickly enter passwords and login names.
For a long time I wished there was a way to use it on different computers that I use (internet café, friends systems etc)
Finally they have released a wonderful program called Roboforms portable which allows me to store the program on a small USB drive and simple plug-in and run Roboforms portable. Immediately the program attaches to the browser and I can access all my signins and passwords. After I remove the USB drive all evidence of roboforms portable is removed. It is very secure.
Here are some other programs that run on a USB drive
• Chat/instant messaging: ICQ (not yet available), Miranda, Trillian Anywhere
• Browsers: Portable Firefox
• Operating Systems: Linux, Windows CE, VPM (Linux)
• PIMs/organisers: EssentialPIM, Sunbird
• Email: JBMail, Portable Thunderbird, EmailVoyager, PocoMail PE
• Encryption: CryptoAnywhere
• Office: AbiWord, OpenOffice (instructions in a PDF here)
• Music: Zoom Player, XMPlay
• Web Authoring: NVU
My suggestion is for a portable True Launch Bar that could run from a USB drive and just like Portable Roboforms quickly attached itself to the task bar while the USB drive is installed and unattach itself when the USB drive is removed.
