Everything Portable Alpha 1.2.1.451a Development Test 1

I don't know if it can be done with the default PA menu, but it can be done using PortableAppsMenuMod34 PaTChed for PAP 1.5.

• Install the patch and open up the theme.ini located in the PortableApps.com/Data/Theme/default directory.
• Hide the original search button by changing the [sbtnSearch] Visible property to 0.

I hope that helps.

I also use this same method to replace the eject button with EjectUSB.

I've actually done something very similar with Music, Documents, etc. where they open with windows Explorer with the folder pane expanded.

What I did is created *.bat files and then converted them to *.exe files using Bat To Exe Converter and then pointed the theme.ini parameter to the *.exe file.

For example:

Music.bat

@Echo off
START "" Explorer /e, \Documents\Music

• Convert Music.bat to Music.exe using Bat_To_Exe.exe.
• Place Music.exe into a newly created Default\Commands directory.
• Change the PathToApp parameter to {THEME}\Commands\Music.exe under a newly created [Music] button.
• Change the Visibility parameter under the [sbtnMusic] to 0

To use the free commander, I'd change the Music.bat:

From:

@Echo off
START "" Explorer /e, \Documents\Music

To:

@Echo off
START "" \PortableApps\FreeCommanderPortable\FreeCommanderPortable.exe \Documents\Music

Oh, and just a tip, make sure you have the Invisible application setting checked under Visibility in Bat_To_Exe.exe when converting the bat file.

I also don't know if you can bypass the entire converting to exe step and just use the bat file. Let me know how it works!
