On one of my PCs, when I launch the Portable Apps Menu I get the system tray icon, but can never find the menu on the desktop. On a different PC it is viewable and useable. The trouble PC does have dual screens running nView.
Any clues?

Thanks.

Hi!
I want to create into my UsbDrive some shortcut icons for all portable applications.
But the shortcuts created with Windows aren´t portable and in other places don´t work.
Can anyone help me please?

Could anybody advice one?

Hi, Nowdays most, if not all, USB flash drives come with preloaded software and formating to some extent. I don't know if I'm fully commited to installing PortableApps so I have a few questions.

1) Does PortableApps rewrite/reformat the entire drive or is it a standalone program?

> a)If so, is there a way to back up/rip ever piece of software/formating that is preloaded on the drive?

2)Does PortableApps also give me the option to save settings/desktop environment or just programs?

I downloaded, installed, and updated Portable Apps Suite and a few others. I love the concept of this as I have two 16 gig flash drives. Here is my problems as a biginner of sorts.

Problem 1.

Hello, I recently bought an 8 gb flash drive and have been looking to get some portable apps on it! I just installed the standard suite to the root directory of my flash drive, howver every time I try to start any of the portable apps exe's I get this error message:

Any ideas?

Is it legal to create a portable launcher for a program that is free, but not open-source?

Since DVDShrink isn't portable (leaves files in app data folder), I was thinking of trying to make a portable launcher for it since I saw one person made one for EAC, which is free, but not open-source.

If I can't, that's cool. If I can, awesome.

Many of you have signed up for the newsletter, and have probably noticed it hasn't come. I'm sure this is just because John Haller is very busy with many other things. So I'm wondering, John would you be able to assign some people to work on the newsletter so people don't continue signing up for it and not receiving it. I saw this comment which was a long time ago. I know you say things will be released within like a week or something, and sometimes don't get around to them, and I don't blame you.
