First I'd like to say Hi and thanks for a great forum.
Just a small comment on installing the Portable apps platform and suite.
The instructions advise putting them on the root of the I drive.
I am using it with Avast Portable on a Cruzer 16GB Sandisk.
After fiddling around I found that if I install Avast as a LP Launcher Program it will then fire up when I put the drive in and check the computer I am using.
This does not seem to happen when the Portable Apps Suite is on the root level, but a separate Portable Apps file with the program within it menas that nothing happens until the machine is declared clean.
I was setting it up for someone without a lot of computer experience and so this seems the safest arrangement.
