Portable Apps Menu Lite

Submitted by crazy2be on August 23, 2008 - 12:01am

Having found the normal Portable Apps Menu heavy and lacking customizeability, i decided to do something about it. I present to you: Portable Apps Lite. The menu that provides more features and uses less resources.

Designed more for advanced users, it provides only a basic UI, but is capable of launching multiple apps with two keystrokes and can launch any apps or combination of apps you choose. comes with a readme.

comments, suggestions, feedback, etc.

How to get the r30 modified version to work?

Submitted by bubbleman on August 12, 2008 - 3:37am

I hope this is the right forum. I have a portableappsmenur30.zip file with a really cool update to the PortableApps.com launcher. I believe it was written by a Mr. Haller. I really like the features. I can get it to run, but I cannot seem to make it autolaunch like the released version no matter what I try. Also there are some duplicate files in the zip, along with some others who share a name. Any advice would be appreciated, and yes, I am not a programmer. But I'm trying to learn at least enough to help you guys test.

Thanks, and thanks for a great site.

RFC: Guidelines For Testing Portable Apps

John T. Haller's picture
Submitted by John T. Haller on August 11, 2008 - 9:34pm

I'm going to compile the guidelines for testing each portable app for the Testing Team and I'm looking for group input. Basically, it'll be:

  1. Verify PortableApps.com Format followed with links to the Spec
  2. Verify no changes to local registry using Regshot (as admin, limited and guest user)
  3. Verify no files or directories left behind in APPDATA or Windows directories using Regshot or WinMerge (as admin, limited and guest user)
