Could someone please help my understanding...
- Normally the U3-compatible files I download come with the extension *.u3p
- What are files with the *.u3i extension?
- and how do I manage to get programs going that should be U3-ready but do come in ZIPped format?
I've tried to copy ABIword to my U3-stick as indicated in the helpfiles but it will not show up in launchpad...!?
any advice? Thanks in advance.
U3 Launchpad only shows U3-specific apps, not stand-alone portable apps. You can use and run standard apps from a U3 device, but they won't show up in the launchpad.

thanks for letting me know
It is not a U3 program but, I open PStart from my flash drive directly after the launchpad has opened.
It leaves two menus in the taskbar, but there are worse things in life.
