over here http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2998 at the Portable Freeware Collection forums someone came with the idea of using Thinstall to make a program launcher so that all programs opened from it are run inside the sandbox... meaning instant portability of any application. Here's the original description:

Description: With CompareChecksum you can calculate checksums of files. Calculation starts automatically, if you select a file per dialog or if you drag and drop a file on the software-window.
By comparing the checksums of two files, you can determine, that a download via internet was not corrupted. At the same time you can check if the file was possibly targetted by a manipulation.

Application: Toucan
Category: Utilities

I've compiled a quick test of some functionality that's part of an upcoming platform release. Specifically, a listener that you can leave running on a local PC to automatically run a PortableApps.com Platform drive when it's inserted. It's a simple functionality test with a single form showing when it detects a new drive and if the platform is on it, at which point it will start it up. There's also a non-GUI version that will run in the background as long as Windows is running (you can kill it in Task Manager if you need to).
