is there a portable apps template available to create a skin for the portable apps menu? I tried looking here:

I need a USB menu... I don't really like PAM, as it's not customizable enough amongst other reasons, PStart gives me a warning every time I open the program on a different computer and the data becomes corrupted.. and ASuite works, but when I put the folder onto my flash drive and run it, it doesn't work (same whenever I install it directly to the flash drive)... I was happy with PStart until it started malfunctioning...and ASuite looked nice until it didn't work ..:(

Hello,

My ISP has a firewall that blocks access to ALL secure sites (https.) I think that's port 443. Before now I have used http-tunnel.com to get around this, but they are having issues. The only other app that has come close to being an alternative is your-freedom.net but their service is crappy.

I have also tried web based proxies but they don't do the job well enough.

Can anyone here pls recommend a proxy software that can bypass my ISP firewall. Any help appreciated

Hey

I have a couple questions about the PortableApps Suite(the program that puts everything in a nice menu)

Right now I am using the u3 menu(I like it alot) but that technology seems not to be taking off and not many programs exist for it(that are free) so I am just looking at this for an alternative.

Questions:

1. Does this menu launch automatically when usb key is plugged in?
2. Does this have the ability to have password protection?

Does anybody have slick way of tracking automatically the versions of all their portable apps?

I'm starting to be concerned that with multiple USB keys (my wife and I for now) that I'm not going to easily know what needs to be updated. I'm planning that I'll get her key once a month-ish and run all the updates. Other than a document with all the info, or opening each one individually, does anyone have a better way of keeping the apps updated?

Is there any way to make the Portable Apps look better on a wide-screen laptop soit lines up in the corner.

Well, it's gotten to the point where I am running out of space on my 2gig cruzer flash drive. I either want to buy an 8gig flash drive or one of the small portable hard drives that I've been seeing around.

What device is faster? At what point of RPM does a hard drive meet the speed of a flash drive?

Which will last longer? I assume that flash drives can get thrown around a little more, but when treated fairly gently, will a hard drive last longer than a flash drive?

I'm a first time user. Checked out the program after reading about it in a PC magazine that I found in my hotel room.

Downloaded and installed the Standard_1.0 program, and when I click on StartPortableApps.exe I get an error message "PortableAppsMem.exe has generated errors . . . " and it quits, saying it generated an error log, which I can't find. There's an Autorun.inf file. Should the menu start automatically when I insert the USB drive? (it doesn't) Not having the menu isn't important, it's just that if it's there, I'd like it to work.
