Shortcuts to UNOFFICIALLY portable apps

You know, there are plenty of other portable apps that aren't from PA.com. Do you guys think that you could make something that adds these to the Apps menu, like shortcuts in the Windows Start menu? That would be just great if you could do that! Thanks.

You Already Can

You've always been able to add any apps you want to the PortableApps.com Platform:

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

...Glitch, then?

Huh. I tried that, but it didn't work. I was using RealWorld Paint just the way that page you mentioned says to. Glitch then? :/

(oops) Nevermind, fixed it.

I just noticed that the folder and the EXE have to have the same name! It works! HOORAY! thanks, sorry for the trouble.

It must have been something else...

FWIW, the folder and executable do not have to be the same name.

It amazes me that on the internet you can be anything you want, and yet so many people still choose to be idiots.

Weird..... It didn't work for me. But it did after I updated it...
