Is there a way to modify the auto run .inf file so that it can execute a program after exiting an auto ran https://portableapps.com/node/2676

Hi,
Recently, I decided to try out Portable Firefox. The only portable flash drive that I have is my MP3 player which uses Microsoft's MTP standard. When I try running Firefox directly from my player, all I get is the properties window, and a notice saying "this file cannot be opened directly from this device. You must copy the file to your local hard drive". This occurs even if I have admin right on the machine. I'm using Windows XP. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Just joined these forums and do not see a method to set for receipt of an email when a topic I submited has a reply. Is this automatic, or is it non-existant?

When is the suite coming out?

Hey,

You're app's are brilliant! I'm guessing as they are Open source programs I can distribute them freely?

Thanks,

I searched the forum but didnt see anything on this so I figured I would open the flud gates and share and let others comment on this since I kinda wanted to see what people of the Portable Community think of this application and its future?

I check it out and I think I understand how it works but non-the-less it is kinda cool if you think about it.

It is not free but there is a 30day/99 reboot trial.

There was a period of some hours (not sure how many) during which any attempt to post a new topic failed. This was due to an issue within the node table (which stores all website content within Drupal). I repaired the table and restarted the server (which also had to be worked on due to a BIOS issue) and all should be working correctly now.

I am going to use truecrypt to encrypt my usb drive. However, I will occasionally be working on computers what I won't have admin rights for. On these machines, I will not be able to access anything that has been encrypted. Therefore, I think that I don't necessarily want to encrypt the whole usb drive.

What programs, folders, files should be encrypted? For example, I don't think I need to encrypt the firefox application, but I would want to encrypt the files with the bookmark and password info.

Thanks for you halp!

Hi,
Has anyone tried to run Flex builder from a portable device? Is it possible?
Looks like it would be, since you can run Eclipse from a USB drive.

Is it that I haven't been paying attention? Or have I become hopelessly muddled in old age? I thought I recalled some, though not all, PortableApps were available in U3 packaging as well as in the usual form of things. I don't seem to find them, though. Puzzling? Are we Moving Beyond U3 (this would only be a mild disappointment; a case of concept being brill but implementation perhaps less that perfectly ready for prime time...)?
