Portable Apps Menu and RoboForms2go

I would like "RoboForms2go" to start when the "PortableAppsMenu" starts. The only thing that I found that would keep me from using "Explorer" was to put the "RoboForms folder" & ".exe" in the "portableapps" folder, but RoboForm does not show up in the menu.

Thanks

Here's the answer...

Since I am nicer than some people in these forums, the answer is to change the autorun.inf file in the root of your directory to this:

[autorun]
open=autorun.bat
icon=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
label={Whatever you want your drive to be called}
action=Start RoboForm and PortableApps {You can change this to whatever you want to be}
UseAutoplay=1

and then you open up notepad and make type this in:

START startportableapps.exe
START \portableapps\roboforms2go\roboforms2go.exe {change roboforms2go.exe to whatever it's supposed to be}

save it as autorun.bat
then put the roboform program into a folder called roboforms2go and it'll show up on the menu.

But since I also have to be realistic, please search the forums first. It's been discussed many times already. Oh, and rules say you can't just create an account so you can say "I want XXX app portable. I am ashamed it's still not here." Or "I want to know how to do XXXX."

Nice reply, little heavy on

Nice reply, little heavy on the sarcasm though Blum

But I'm a little confused, perhaps I missed something. The final part of his post was about why Roboform was not showing up in the PAM even though he put the Roboform directory under the PAs directory, which should work, shouldn't it?

depends on his

exact layout.
If he put the folder and the exe in the portableApps folder it may look like this:

PortableApps\
PortableApps\Roboform\
PortableApps\Roboform.exe

instead of

PortableApps\
PortableApps\Roboform\
PortableApps\Roboform\Roboform.exe

Misread

You misread the post, it should be:

PortableApps\
PortableApps\Roboform\
PortableApps\Roboform\Roboform.exe

If he put it under

If he put it under Portableapps\portableappsmenu\ the menu doesn't scan there because it doesn't want to put itself on the menu. Same with the backup utility.

Thanks for the answer

Thanks. Using the .bat file works in XP. Tomorrow I'll try it on VISTA. Wish me luck.

Yes I searched. I guess I searched in the wrong place or used wrong syntax. Sorry for the repost.
