That is because...

It automatically creates an autorun.inf like many malware...

OK...

Looks good....

But, can we have the source please.

Also, would be better if the folders could be renamed, and the directory structure could be changed.

I also don't like that it auto creates an autorun file on every run. Making that an option is a better idea to me.

This is just first glance ideas.

more problems

1) something happened with placement of tooltips. see here for a screenshot of what I mean. When the app started, it opened in the upper left-hand corner. Tooltips were working properly. I then dragged it to the position you see (lower right) and the tooltips ended up with the wrong y-value.

2) there isn't any documentation. It would be helpful to have it so we could figure out how to add our 48x48 user icons without having to come back here each time.

3) stemming from 2), it would help if you included source code, and some form of open-source license.

I do not see where this code or a final release has been made. Great idea, and would love to have this program.

I would also like to give this a try out since it is taking some time for the next PAM to come out.

Orrrr....

Make it open-source...

What's the upside to making it freeware?

Looks nice but

I think you will find most users here will want the source.
If its not open source I'd have to have a pretty compelling reason to use it instead of PAM or the C+ version both of which are open source.
I've already made some minor changes to PAM to suite my needs.

Doesnt work for me

I would love to use this, however, when I extract the zip file to by USB drive (root) and double click on the USB Start Menu program, it will lock up and I have to kill the process via task manager.

Any ideas??

Could you explain in more detail about how to install this?

Thanks in advance.

BTW- the only thing I can see this do on my drive is create the autorun and a "documents" folder. But nothing past that.
