Perfect portable editor 
Notepad2 version 1.0.12
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I've tried and I use lots of text editors on my system, but Notepad2 is the one I choose as my favorite portable editor on USB pendrive. It doesn't need installation, it's extremely light and fast, it supports Unicode (which many others do not), has syntax highlighting (which some other lightweight editors do not), nice word wrap at window border and cool zoom buttons. It's very configurable, a pity it stores settings in the registry instead of a file, so you can't bring your preferences with you, unless you export the registry keys. It also lacks tabbed multiple file editing, but it's not a priority IMHO in a portable editor.

My favourite clipboard history application
ArsClip version 2.6.8
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I needed a simple clipboard history freeware application, and ArsClip gives me more than I was looking for. It looks nice and works great, and is also loaded with interesting features, like Form Mode, Mimic Typing, Unicode support, and is highly configurable. Needs a bit of reading the online help on the web site, though; some of its features were not immediately clear to me. Things I like most: can be used as a simple Ctrl-Alt-V history paste from popup menu, or more advanced features can be accessed with a couple of clicks more; it shows application icons to easily identify history items; can have "permanent" items, even different ones for different applications. I previously tried Clipomatic, Yankee Clipper III and CLCL, but I like ArsClip more. Highly recommended.

Wonderful but flawed
ActualDoc Standard version 2.0
- Interface: 4
- Features: 1
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 2
- Overall:
A very nice program, beautiful interface, good features, free... but it has a fundamental flaw: it fails in its main purpose. I tested it on WinXP SP2, and it kept listing files which I did not open at all, even files in folders I didn't even browse. I'm also pretty sure no running application was opening them. And they continued appearing even immediately after clearing the list, as if I was opening them in that very moment, which doesn't make sense, I'm talking e.g. about picture files, not executables, libraries or else. It also misses a feature I hoped for, but this can be subjective: when you access a file, any accesses to it occurred in previous days are deleted. I hoped it could store them.
