A few questions from a newbie...

I have a few questions, maybe they have been already posted here, but, I have not found them :(.
- Is there a way to make the StartPortableApps.exe file start automatically after the USB flash plug-in, and not after the Windows auto-run prompt, it would really look better and be more useful?
- Is it possible to implement the "safely remove..." option in to the PortableApps menu, next to the close (X) button, because it looks a little bit lame to first close the application, and then unplug the flash drive manually?

I just want to add that I'm really satisfied with this suite, it serves me well... I haven't spotted any bugs yet.
Tnx in advance... Regards from Serbia
P.S Sorry 'bout my English, it's not my first language, as you see :).

lets see...

1. No
I'd like to have this myself, but Windows doesn't let us do it.
2. That feature is to be released in an upcoming version.

Thank you for the quick

Thank you for the quick reply :D.
Well, this first wasn't too crucial on the second hand....
And I forgot to ask, I see a lot of threads regarding Password protection and encryption. Is there any solution of that kind in plan, I ,for example, don't need some hax0r level of encryption, just enough to keep the content of my flash out of the range of a curious eye :D.

The problem

with good encryption is, as far as I know, that it always need Admin rights. And you dont want to need Amin rights to access your files, do you?. That would mean no iinternet Cafes, libraries almost every public PC...
