Hello All
Thanks again for your contribution of this software.
I have just tried to initialise KeePass and am having a problem with it opening WinXP
IE.
- First of my problems is I don't wish IE to have anything to do with my work, let alone my secure password info, site visits etc.
- Second problem is I would prefer all my portable apps to default to applications within the suite.
On this Windowsxp system help files are disabled (chm files security issues)I can do self help this morning, so I am hoping that some kind soul will help me set the options up in KeePass for the Suite.
I am thinking there are plugins that may correct this.
Thanks All
Pked

I don't think that KeePass looks for IE specifically. It just looks for the default browser.
You might try defaulting FFP with this: DefaultMyFFP

Thanks wsm23.
Thats a simple straight forward solution but I want to just be able to plug and go.
I am in favour of using your zip later on a new machine where a copy of the suite will be on hard drive. It will in that instance save messin' about.
I take it you're storing URLs in KeePass and then launching them from KeePass. If that's the case, I assume KeePass uses the default browser on the machine you're working on and setting the default berowser to your portable Firefox may not be possible and goes against the idea of "portable apping".
There is an option in KeePass to only copy URLs to the clipboard and not launch them. I guess you could enable that then use Ctrl + V to paste them into an already running copy of Portable Firefox.
Do Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Integration section for the URL launching option.
Another alternative would be to use the cmd:// syntax for your URLs. Here's part of the help file for that:
The {APPDIR} and %APPDIR% substitution codes are replaced by the application directory path of the currently running KeePass instance. It's the full absolute path of the directory containing the KeePass executable, without a trailing backslash. If you would like to start a new KeePass instance, you could set the URL to:
cmd://{APPDIR}\KeePass.exe
So, using that info and knowing where your KeePass directory is located in relation to your Portable Firefox directory, you could put something like this in all of your URL textboxes to execute Portable Firefox:
cmd://{APPDIR}\..\..\..\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe http://www.mysite.comThe key to getting this to work is if using the double dots will actually direct the program to go down a directory in the directory tree. If it does, then you need to know just how far back to go to get to the root of your portable apps and then go up the Portable Firefox directory.
I haven't tried this and it's all a guess on my part going from the help file. Good luck!

cmd://{APPDIR}\..\..\..\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe http://www.mysite.comOnly just seen your post so have not tried it yet. Will report back on results. It looks though to be a good fix for now although permanent assigning to ffp would save time.
I Like the idea of all the apps in the suite working as independent of the host pc as possible. It is a cleaner more secure way to do stuff.
Will let you know.
BTW yes KeePass is supposed to eventually be able to launch urls.
