Why Bonjour?

Not sure if this is the right place for this; if not, please let me know which is the right place.

Why is Bonjour included as an app displayed in the PortableApps menu? What is it for? I think this is new behaviour - or have I inadvertently changed some option somewhere to make it appear (which option, where please)?

It Isn't

We have no such app included by default. You must have added it, possibly by copying in a non-PortableApps.com Format app. If you hover over it, the menu will tell you exactly where it is. If it's bundled in a non-PAF app that needs it and you don't want it in the menu, you can right-click and hide it.

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

Bonjour & DataVault

Thank you. Your tip about hovering over it gave me all the information I needed. It turns out that Bonjour is used by Ascendo's DataVault which I have installed as if it were part of my PortabeApps system.

Thank you.

Turns out Bonjour is used by one of the applications (DataVault) in my PortableApps setup.
