Dear sir,
Thanks for your app. of LOST.exe
http://portable.cubegames.net/Lost.exe
Appreciate your assistance how to:
[1] add photo
[2] split one sentence into new line.
i.e.
"if this drive has been found, pls contact ABC at ABX@ABC.com"
->
"if this drive has been found,
pls contact ABC at ABX@ABC.com
Or phone at: 123456789
Thank you "
Unfortunately, you can't do that with the base version. I'll do a special version for you.

NSIS doesn't have the capability to add a picture to a message box, other than the built in ones (at least, not that I know of).

Just one question...What is it for?
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do." Asimov
a little program meant to be run by the person who found your drive after you lost it. It tells her to contact you and displays a phone number and a email you specified before you lost the drive.

Nice idea and works.
One question, Is it possible to get the autorun.inf file to launch two applications i.e. the lost.exe program and the PortableApps Menu ?
Probably not, but any ideas please ?

it is not possible to launch 2 applications with autorun.inf but I think you can have autorun.inf launch a bat file which launches the 2. Or you use Smithtechs Applauncher.

Simeon,
Thanks, thats exactly how I did it, but was "sort of" hoping for a nicer way of doing it.
I have got the "lost" app loaded on some company sticks, about 200 of them. Trying to keep things simple to support.
Thanks again.

Cool, thanks for supporting Cube Games
If you want me to, I could have a message box with "Is this your drive?" and if the user presses Yes, it launches an app of your choice, specified by the INI. Just give us a buzz if you want that.

Happy to support both this site and those who support it. I have the portable Apps Suite installed on over 100 sticks and getting more interest each day - hits on this site must be rising steadily........
The batch file seems a simple thing, tried to turn to an exe, but had problems with setting the drive letter and path, as it ran in its own shell and was "looking" in C:\Windows, batch file works fine. Can't put direct path to filename as the drive letter changes, seen many "options" to fix in searches here but haven't got one to work fully (yet) with all hardware configurations used here.
The ability to answer Yes/No is a good idea, but in the batch it always shows the details then runs PStart, which for me is what I want to show, so Thanks, but not a facility I would need.

@echo off
start lost.exe
start PStart.exe
exit

I notice you supply the .nsi file - Can I alter some of the variables myself (with the NSI application) to change the messagebox heading to a Company name - all other "owner" details within the app to yourself would remain ? - Or could a value be implemented from the .ini file to include the Company name, as it is open source I think I can, but wanted to ensure that it is OK with you first, as you wrote it

You can pretty much do whatever as long as there's a reference to me. That's the beauty of the GPL license.
However, I don't know if you can change the title of the message box with NSIS. I'll have a check in the morning.

I took your lost.exe source code and changed the message into Spanish...
Do you want to make this version publicly available? I can send it to you... tell me how...
Greetings.-
EDIT: well, easier... change this and it's done...
Message:
MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION "Si encontró este Pendrive, por favor contacte a $NAME en $EMAIL"

I don't have a signature
Should I have a signature?
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
I will take a look, but if you compile it for me and send me the zip, I'll get it up straight away.

I'm not a programmer but can translate... so anything I can do to support these fantastic portable applications, just drop me a line...
It's my way to pay the extreme use I do of PApps...

Is there any way to compile the NSIS source so that when you press ok it will laucnch StartPortableApps.exe?
And also is there any way to add a line of text that says if you press "ok" that it will launch the Portable Apps Menu and that if you press cancel than it will not launch PAM and this dialopg box will close (and to add a cancel button)?
PS I am trying to learn NSIS so... Thanks for any help.
