Hi,

I appear to have mislaid my 1GB Drive, which has a typical PortableApps and U3 installation on it and perhaps a few additional apps, like Skype, FileZilla, Komposer, Putty.

I am wondering what passwords are typically stored on the USB, in anticipation of what passwords I need to go ahead and change. So far I have changed passwords for Mozilla Plugins like del.icio.us and I have already changed my email account passwords.

What other passwords will Mozilla Store on the USB?

When I Use My U3 Flash Drive, I Usually Transfer Stuff To Another (Non-U3) Drive. But When Ever My U3 Drive Is Plugged In...
I Can Access Any Of The Other Flash Drives.
There On The "My Computer" Menu But When I Click It

THERE IS NOTHING ON THE DRIVE
not one file

i cannot even drag or save anything into it

When I Remove My U3 And Then Plug My Other Flash Drive In.
All My Files On The (Non-U3) Drive, Are There....

Is My U3 Flash Drive Stopping Me From Viewing My Other Drives?

Is The SmithTech Portable Menu Open Source?

Is it possible to have a knoppix.iso installed on a thumbdrive and still be able to use the portable apps in knoppix?(under wine). I was wondering because I will be getting an 120gig usb hdd and i want to partition it to be able to run knoppix.. and a few other batch files. It would be nice to be able to have a barebone knoppix.iso and just use the portable apps.

Hi, I'm new here, and have what is probably a very daft question, but please bear with me. I've just bought my first USB device and am looking forward to filling it with portable apps. So, on to the question:

I have an Integral Ice 2GB USB flash drive, which has password protection on it, which is accessed by a file called USB Disk Pro v2.7 (UDPv270.exe). This allows you to set a password and format the drive into a protected and unprotected partition (appearing as two drive letters on XP). Both are formatted FAT. My question is in two parts:

hi, I am totally new here. Reason i am here is because i want to use skype on my company computer which does not allow outside software, so i am thinking is there a way to make skype portable so that i can run it from a USB. Can someone run through the entire procedure for me on how to do this? Appreciate it!

I keep receiving an error dialog box that states, "G:\Access Denied" when I click on "Open with Pendrive Program" in the WINXP Action to take box, after I plug in my Memorex USB Flashdrive.
I've never received this message in more than a year -until I recently intalled a program directly into the portable apps directory on the flash.
Usually I first install a program on my local harddrive, then transfer the .exe into a portable apps directory I've created for it.

I downloaded the suite for my USB flash drive, but then it changed the name of the device to PortableApps. I tried rename. doesnt work. i formatted it. but it's still portable apps help plz!!

Slight complaint. (very slight)

When you release a new app could you please also update the version history.

I use this to tell if I need to download your version or if I can just use the one that is auto-updated with apps like FF and TB.

I would want to know if you have made improvements or modifications to the launcher etc.

This would also help those out there who do not have unlimited bandwidth and they could see what they are getting int the new version.

Thanks again.

I just downloaded portableapps and all the portable applications except for XAMPP and Man-on-Stick and installed it on my 2 GB Pen Drive, and boy it's one great software suite one can die for!!!! I just love it. I have one problem though and that's why I am asking this question- is it essential that one has to download and install every update and upgrade of portable applications as soon as they come out?
