Hello,
I just found the portable apps and I have to say I love it. I can have all my things in a USB drive and use them everywhere I go.
There is only one thing that I need...I wish I could sync my portable apps with the ones I have in my home computer so I when I change a setting in my firefox or my sunbird or my thunderbird, I can share the setting with the one in my usb drive.
Is there an app that can help me achieve this? I wish I could set the folder in my drive and the one on my computer so everytime there is a change the setting automatically (or run by myself) change the setting in the other one.
If ths can be possible for firefox, thunderbird, sunbird, etc. that would be great.
Many thanks to all.

Until a more suitable solution comes out (I'd say, within the next few days), you could use something like Toucan.

Microsoft SyncToy v1.4 works. I posted a forum on the Microsoft website on how to do it. It goes something like this:
Pre-requisite:
Microsoft .NET 2.0 or newer installed
Download from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E0FC1154-C975-4...
Process:
1. Find a computer you have administrator rights on.
2. Make sure SyncToy is not installed on this computer.
3. Download the SyncToy installer to a USB drive
4. Run the installer. (if you already installed SyncToy on this computer it
will ask you to remove or repair at this point. That does not help you).
5. When it asks for a drive to install, create a new folder, on your USB
drive (flash drive works too)
6. After the install, select finish and eject the usb drive/thumbdrive
7. Plug thumb drive into the computer you don't have administrator rights to.
8. Copy the entire folder to the new computer. Or, just run it from your
flash drive.
I use this more than once a week at my office. It helps keep the "My Documents folder" I share between Linux and Windows updated. It includes a copy of Firefox portable in there.
There is a SyncToy v2.0 Beta, I have not tried it.
You should stick with programs you can keep on your drive. And, if it says Micro$oft in the name, then it won't work on the drive ;).
