General Discussion

While Portable Aps creates a Documents folder, some installations like the Portable Skye installation looks for (and creates on installation) a My Documents folder. Do I need to keep the My Documents? will other software look for this by default? It seems like Portable Aps is hard wired to use the Documents folder when you use the control menu.

How do I , I need 2 know, you know one that allows me to put Firefox Portable in a modified package, since I am making my own portable applications suite.

I was wondering, some people have made up various guides and instuctions for the PortableApps Menu, as well, there is information on the site.

i searched before posting the the topic. but there is some different ideas on this. i'm using a 2gb Kingston U3 Usb, so do you advice ntfs or fat32 file system for the best performance? i'm using xp ( don't neet to 95/ 98 / anymore )

Is there a way to remove the filename from the list without removing the files? I have added some portable apps not supported by portableapps.com and a couple of them have more than one executable. I'd like to have just the program executable show up in the program list, but not the others.

I discovered this site:
http://www.mcgrewsecurity.com/research/hackingU3/
which was tested on the sandisk u3
When you uninstall u3 and use the reinstall program, it grabs an ISO file and "burns" it as another partition so windows recognizes it as a CDROM.
This is the .iso it downloads:
http://u3.sandisk.com/download/apps/lpinstaller/isofiles/cruzer-autorun.iso

You can download that iso and use isobuster and extract the files, and this is what you get:
AUTORUN.INF
LAUNCHU3.EXE
LAUNCHPAD.ZIP

I'm an online college student and currently my laptop is in the repair shop. Processor is being replaced.

I love using Firefox and have been missing it. I heard of the Portable version and tried and I'm hooked. I have even downloaded some other programs to make my online learning more efficient till I get my laptop back.

I just wanted to say Thank You.

Even when I get my laptop back, I'm keep this portable apps just in case I even need them.

Hi all,

I like the PortableApps suite, but I find the standard menu a bit limited. In particular, things I'd like to be able to do:

• select which shortcuts appear (I know, this is due in the next version)
• change the icon and/or description
• choose the order of the menu items
• include arguments to commands (for example, to run Java programs or scripts using a JRE/interpreter on the drive)
• create submenus (Games, Office, Internet, etc...)

I've created a directory underneath PortableApps, and installed a program there. The program appears in my menu, but just an icon, no description. The reason: There's no "Description" in the file attributes. Is there a way I can change the file discription attribute in a file? (File Properties brings it up, but won't let me change it.
