My thanks to tr3s, who first posted this app in October 2006 (also for the images used here):

and to RwDwG who posted the surviving link.
Time to repost this useful app since:
Original post was a while ago, links are now dead and it's getting harder to find;
Keygen supplied with later (non-portable) builds in more recent posts are for earlier builds, so don't work - this portable version tests ok;
If you have only one hard drive, you can run this app from a USB memory stick without disturbing data on your HD (better than non-portable version).
Although I havent seen posted a portable version of a more recent build, you could try d/loading the most recent exe only from home site, overwriting and running it.
