Other Apps Support (Deprecated)

Hi folk's, new to the forum, and glad to be here. I just got interested in portable apps, and think they are great. My biggest worry has always been the thought of an unknown PC spreading a virus to my Flash Drive when I plug it in, and start to use my portable apps on that piece of equipment.

I found a what seems to be a great portable app solution. The Software is DriveSentry GoAnywhere. It acts as a firewall for your flash drive, will prevent virus's from loading on your flash drive, and currently it is free from DriveSentry.

I would like to put a different picture on the background theme.Do any of you Portable Apps developers have a software to do this?? I have a 1955 Hydra Glide Harley,and the photo would look nice on that background theme..Please help me out...Feedback would help!!Thanks....OUTKASTBIKER

I just tested Winmerge on my Ubuntu 7.10 box with wine and it doesn't work.
The launcher and program start but close after a while.

Maybe someone (John, Ryan?) could update the Compytibility page???

On the Winmerge page it says:
Archive file support using 7-Zip

Does Winmerge Portable also support Archives?

If not could that be done using 7Zip Portable?

Its just a suggestion for the future.

I successfully installed Python on my usb flash drive, but there's a little problem that's bothering me. In my menu there're other application icons that I don't want them there. The are on the Python25 folder, which is the application folder, so it seems that Portable Apps take every .exe file that is on that folder and put it on the menu. How can I remove those extra applications from the menu? Thanks in advance.

I was using the portable apps menu, and i now find that when using Windows Explorer that C: has been renamed 'portableapps'. I need to revert the name back to C:LocalDisk which is what it originally was. Right clicking and renaming does not work.
It also has the portableapps icon - which I also need to remove
This is machine at work - so please help!
Thanks

Can we make any app portable eg Autocad, Photoshop etc? And if we can, which is the proper way to do it.

I got allway sync-n-go (PAF) and I installed it and found that the icon showed up in the menu but clicking said icon yielded no results.
I have the newest version installed.

There is now a lot newer build of WinSCP from the developers and I was thinking will there be a "official" new portable build of it here or could someone else make a portable build of it.
I would myself do it but Portable App Creator doesn't properly function with me

I would like to run Notepad++Portable from a non-writeable media (I am using a lockable usb-stick).

In the readme.txt (to be found in Notepad++Portable\other\Notepad++PortableSource) I have found some hints and a Notepad++Portable.ini - file.

As described in the readme.txt the Notepad++Portable.ini looks like:

[Notepad++Portable]
Notepad++Directory=App\Notepad++
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
Notepad++Executable=Notepad++.exe
AdditionalParameters=
DisableSplashScree=false
