Removing Application Icons from the Menu

Submitted by hecto_ts on January 18, 2008 - 9:59am

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.

How do I revert drive name to 'local disk'?

Submitted by dik3 on January 17, 2008 - 5:14pm

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

Submitted by DJHasis on January 8, 2008 - 5:42am

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 Sad

Notepad++ running from a locked usb-stick

Submitted by peter_g on December 30, 2007 - 5:52am

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

Portable Notepad++ & Portable Firefox

Notepad++ and Firefox two of the best softwares around and as portable apps, is it necessary to say more?

Anyways...

How can have Portable Notepad++ preview the current document that I'm working on Portable Firefox?

When I click on RUN >>> LAUNCH IN FIREFOX Nothing happens. Notepad++ is looking for a local install of Firefox.

Both software are installed on the same USB drive with the PortableApps.com Menu. This is to give you and idea of the structure inside the USB drive. I'm running Windows Vista.

Thanks in advance.

No Menu Items Appear

Submitted by TrickyNick on December 17, 2007 - 10:25pm

I just installed portable app on my U3 Capable drive.

I have the menu up and running, I've installed 2 programs. Neither one of are on the menu. How can I resolve this?

Note: PortableApps isn't installed to the root of my USB drive, it's installed in a sub directory called PortableApps.

Second question: Is there a way to stop the installers from trying to install new programs into "Drive:\PortableApps\PortableApps\Program Name"? I don't want to have to keep removing "\PortableApps" from the install path.
