Hi,
I installed my PortableApps on my computers hard drive in
D:\PortableApps\ and created a shortcut in my Startup folder referring to Start.exe in D:\PortableApps\.
When running the Start.exe through that shortcut, I get a message like:
Could not find C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe
Do I need to adjust a configuration file or something ?
Regards

It sounds like you copied Start.exe rather than creating a shortcut to it.

Thanks that was the problem.
I already noticed that I couldn't set a "Start in FOlder" property, but didn't link that to the fact that I had something else than a shortcut.
Everything OK now.
right click on the shortcut, go to properties.
under shortcut find the "start in" box.
put the folder your Start.exe is in in there, in your case it'll be D:\ this sets the working directory so the program can find things based on relative paths, it's basically like it tacks start in folder on the beginning of the path, so if your start in folder is Z:\Jerome'sStuff\ and the path is .\folder\where\some\thing\is.exe then it becomes Z:\Jerome'sStuff\folder\where\some\thing\is.exe.
(edit: or what Chris said.)
