I Downloaded the PortableApps.com Platform and installed it on an external USB drive, 300 GB FAT32 in a folder called PORTABLE.
The program starts and puts its window in the lower right corner of the screen but when I click on a folder in the menu, the folder opens and the PortableApps.com Platform shuts down. I suppose this is not how it should be. Any suggestions? I run Win XP home. I downloaded the PortableApps.com Platform only, because it is multilingual.

PortableApps.com Platform closes when clicking on a menu folder
Hey Occupied, and welcome to PortableApps.com!
Adding:
RemainVisible=True
To your PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\Data\PortableAppsMenu.ini, it should always remain visible after clicking an item in the menu. I believe that's the location of the ini file, but I'm not positive.
Are you sure it shuts down? There should be a little white-grey tray icon that you can click to reopen the menu when needed ...
Welcome to PortableApps.com!![Smile](https://portableapps.com/sites/all/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/smile.gif)
Yeah, that too.
I'm sure he did just miss the icon. But hopefully my solution will help.
Occupied is not the first one with this problem. A lot of users are not used to that behaviour of a program.
Maybe the PortableApps Suite Support page should inform the users about the tray icon and how to use it![Smile](https://portableapps.com/sites/all/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/smile.gif)
Or there could be a balloon tip when minimizing the menu for the first time ...
I found it! I found the icon!
Many thanks for your help and your welcoming, all of you.
