A list of apps you can run directly from your USB key without needing to install
[http://loosewire.typepad.com/blog/2005/03/a_directory_of_.html]
His actual list is not very long, but it's interesting to see them organized together, and he has a lot of comments in his blog with more info.
One app that is not on his list is Putty, or anything like it. Putty is the ssh client that I use; it includes normal ssh features like command-line scp, and a gui to set up tunnelling. Putty is great, and it is possible to run it from usb without installing the executables, but for some reason it saves its preferences in thew Windows registry, without even alerting you. Every time you use Putty on a machine, you are leaving traces which can lead a hacker to your account. Oh well.
