Hello, i love the portableapps setup, but i was wondering if there is a way to get limewire and other programs for the portableapps setup. I used to run the U3 system on my 16gb sandisc and i found this system and i without regret uninstalled U3 and installed portableapps. however, the difference between U3 and this system is that i have found a program to convert other programs into .U3P formatt for the U3 system. is there a program that can do the same for portableapps?

The program you found to convert apps to U3 doesn't actually make the software portable. All it does it put the files in a ZIP file renamed to U3P and include the icon and name so the U3 menu can read it. If the app isn't portable already, it won't be portable when you run it from U3.
With the PortableApps.com Platform, you don't have to jump through any hoops like that to get already portable apps to appear in the menu. In addition to adding apps in PortableApps.com Format you can also add other apps to the menu just by putting them in the right place.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
