I am on a school computer that lets me run programs off my drive, but has the system tray lock out (or doesn't show on the bar)
How can I access the programs that are running, without the system tray?

At least I use that when I'm on cyber cafes...
Another option is don't maximize windows so you can see those behind...

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
If you can get to the USB key via My Computer/Explorer, you can open up the usb key, then open up the directory of the portableapps and then run them directly.
I don't think it should mess with the functions of the portableapps (like the clearing of the registry et al).

I have been using the alt-tabs, and shrinking the screen is no problem, its when i try to eject the drive, because when you close the apps it just runs in the background so i can not close the programs once they have been run. Also the ctrl-alt-del is also locked down so that is not an option.
I dont like the pull a running usb drive without doing the safe remove first.
any ideas?
Thanks
the lights have stopped flashing, then it should be fine.
I know that as long as no lights are flashing, and I've waited about another 30 seconds to make sure no lights are flashing or blinking, I've never had a problem.

Try using ejectscript... I use it in this cases and it works... it really works...

Just find your USB drive, right-click, and choose Eject. That should do the same thing as the system tray thingy.
