Create a file named

Create a file named autorun.inf containing this.

[Autorun]
Open=StartPortableApps.exe
Action=StartPortableApps.com
Icon=StartPortableApps.exe
Label=PortableApps.com

I don't have a short attention span. I just...oh look a kitty!

This method worked, but I had to make changes to the path. Thanks for the idea.

autorun.inf

What jimmy said. It shouldn't be necessary if you installed PortableApps.com to the root directory, though as it creates it itself.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I don't know how hard it

I don't know how hard it would be...but if you created the had the platform autorun at the root of the directory and updated the path on the first run.

Not Really

As the Platform installs a valid autorun.inf on install, it starts out right. If it's altered, we assume the user did it on purpose.
