...i need to use User StyleSheets css ...but in this verion is not.
HELP!

I didn't find a place to post this so here it is.

I subscribed to 1 thread and everything was fine. That is until today when i got 7 emails, 6 about a new post (all about the same post) and one about that post being removed.

The "Details" link seems to be dead in apps in which it's under the download link and not inside it. In other words, in freewares. For example, Skype Portable and Balabolka Portable.

Also, it's always a full (though at least relative) URL instead of just an anchor. It probably causes some browsers to refresh the page in vain, causing you unneeded bandwidth and slowing the process for users.

Why is there a portable apps version of Notepad++? Doesn't the original developers offer a portable version? On their site: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.5.4.html, they offer a non-installer version. Does that mean that their version is portable and its settings are saved as portable?

I downloaded the portable Netbeans from PortableApps.com then ran the JDK installation, pointing it to install to the JDK folder in NetBeans Portable > App > jdk. Do I need to change the config files or something?

Also, is it truly portable or will I need some of Java pre-installed in another computer for me to use this portable Netbeans on it?

I am having trouble installing the portable apps platform. I downloaded PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_11.2.exe. I am running a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with Windows 8.1.

When I try to run the installer, it just says "This App can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher."

I think I saw that it supports windows 8.1, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any thoughts?

I always prefer portable versions of a program because they leave no traces behind (whereas their non-portable counterparts not only leave trace, but slow down the system over time due to the cluttering of excessive and redundant registries). Because many developers of the original non-portable programs do not create portable versions, we have portable versions created by other developers and I have some questions regarding this:

I had the utility installed on my flash drive for about a year. I just tried to run it only to have it auto update, install itself on the local drive, spam me with popups to buy Advanced System Care 7, and installed several Chrome extensions; Advanced SystemCare Surfing Protection, Amazon Shopping Assistant by Spigot, Domain Error Assistant, Ebay Shopping Assistant by Spigot. All without permission.

I had none of these extensions prior to running Smart Defrag Portable. I then ran malwarebytes and it has littered my pc with garbage:

Hello.

By default Portable apps pick applications from \portableapps directory.
Is there any way to add additional directories ?
Like another \portableappsextra like that.
