How can I add apps that I have ALREADY INSTALLED to the PA Menu?

normington (Homepage) - February 12, 2007 - 9:23am

I've got a few portable apps already installed onto my USB flash drive, and I've just downloaded and installed the base of the PA Suite. How do I add ones that I have already installed (e.g TB) into the menu? I don't want to reinstall them because there are settings and data I don't want to lose - like emails in TB.

copy them

Just copy them into
[your driveletter]/PortableApps/
So in the end you get
(Lets say F is your driveletter)
F:/

---------------------/PortableApps
---------------------/FirefoxPortable
--------------------------/Other
--------------------------/Data
--------------------------/App
---------------------/ThunderbirdPortable
-------------------------/Other

--------------------/7-ZipPortable
-------------------------/Other
-------------------------/Data
-------------------------/App

Just make sure you put your exe in a folder (Otherwise the Menu wont recognise it)
