Since I'm on a USB kick at the moment, thought I'd post about what I consider a must have if you use a Flash Drive regularly. Rather than just throwing everything you use (programs, whatever) on the drive, and then opening the folder to access them from there, there are small program launchers available that essentially turn it into a small hard drive with it's own Start Menu.

Portable Apps has a great little tool to compress all of the progams and .dlls on your Flash Drive to help save (potentially a lot) of space. Normally I've been manually compressing them myself for years using UPX, and a small registry hack I made so it's just a right-click affair, but this program has built-in UPX support amongst other compressors.
