When using portable apps, I cannot launch it from my school computers. I can understand that running a ".exe" might be blocked and can appreciate why. However, i would like to know if there is any method around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The apps here work under admin, limited and guest mode accounts under Win2K/XP/Vista as well as accounts under Win9x (where applicable with the app itself).
Some PCs are so locked down that they won't run EXEs from removable drives. In situations like this, there is usually no way around this restriction (not with PortableApps.com nor with proprietary solutions). Some PCs you may be able to copy the app folder to the PC, run it, then copy it back... but that is unlikely for most.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Change the exes to .com.
