I just noticed, and I'm not sure how long its been like this, but how is it that the launcher no longer runs as a process? Is this because the launcher does not make any modifications to the registry, or clean up any files on exit?
Also is there a way to make the launcher use less memory? Currently the PAT 1.4.1 uses about 7mb memory.

However it closes as soon as it starts Firefox, Thunderbird etc.
There are exceptions, for apps that add registry keys, e.g. 7-Zip (I think) and Abiword.
I think you mean PAM
PAT = Portable Application Template
PAM = PortableApps Menu

I thought that may have been the case.
Actually I did mean the Portable App Template, however rereading my comment it doesn't make all that much sense. Let me rephrase my question, I've made a couple of portable apps using PAT, however the launchers use approx 7mb of memory. Some of the Apps use less memory than the launcher. Is there a way for the launcher to use less memory?
Also do you know of the variable that PAT uses that allows you to close the launcher after the app has launched?
I don't the PAT, since I code it from 7-Zip Portable

In PAT there's no such variable, the launcher always waits for the app to close (always use
ExecWait) because it runs some clean up routines once the app is closed.my launchers for FF and TB run till I close FF /TB.

that's because it has to remove compreg.dat (or some other .dat file).
