TopTools 4.0 (560 Kb. Zipped executable)

New in version 4.0

No installer

Since TopTools doesn't depend on external libraries or frameworks, there is no (and never really was any) reason for it to be "installed", just unzip the exe and run it.

Portable App

A portable application does not leave its files or settings on the host computer. Typically this means that the application does not write to the Windows registry and instead stores its settings in one or more configuration files (e.g. an INI file) located in its directory. (Wikipedia)

TopTools is now "portable", so you can run it from a USB-stick etc. Contrary to TopTools 3, version 4 saves settings only if you ask it to, either in the registry or in an .ini file.
