hmmm.... I would like to know

hmmm.... I would like to know why a lot of new users come here "demanding" applications, seems like many dont search or read the forum rules. If you did then you would have found many times that this particular request has been "requested" before and that there is no way this is possible without hardware that can do it. That was just my 2 cents and dont worry Im not tryin to insult anyone so dont start hatin on me. Also welcome to PA.com Blum

I am not hatin you, but there

I am not hatin you,

but there are many members here who could have given the op a more genteel response and welcome, in the future perhaps you should let them do it.

My response was as gentle as

My response was as gentle as it could have been, Its not like I was using sarcasm like some users do, or right away saying something that would insult the user, cause I didn't, and I believe that my comment isn't half bad to what a lot of users have said to new ones also. Most of the time I do let other members welcome people instead of me, but it seems that not directly stating what they should have done, then they will do it again and again, so I just straight up said what most of you would have said probably like a dozen times before they realized that they should have searched. So interpret this comment however you want to, whether it be good or bad, it wont bother me any cause I knew what my intentions were, and they weren't harsh.

Unfortunately: no

As Nathan said, it isn't possible without special hardware. If it would be easy to do, I think it would be one of our main Apps cause tons of people want the same thing you do. Some other companies (like U3) try to do something similar but its never 100% secure - its more like "security through obscurity" which means "hide the folders so you need a little more knowledge that the average user has to find it and then hoe no one with better knowledge that you finds your drive".

And @Nathan: Its PortableApps.com, not PA.com!
