EDITED: Sorry about those extra spaces, don't know how they got there, Fixed Now! Thanks to porterkm

Take the default Autorun.inf file from \PortableApps and copy it to \

Default Autorun.inf looks like this:

[Autorun]
Open=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
Action=Start PortableApps
Icon=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
Label=PortableApps

Now edit \Autorun.inf so it looks like this:

[Autorun]
Icon=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
Label=PortableApps

Hello to everybody. I am new in this forum and i want some help from all of you. Can you tell me wich is the best Application to make Portable Aplications? I mean the best and easy to use. Thanks for your help. Greatings...

Hi!

(first: sorry, if this topic has still been discussed in the forum)
(second: sorry for my english)

Installer:

I was happy with the distribution of the Portable Apps via 7z files.
I think, that a "Portable- Application Installer" is some paradox ...
I just want to expand the package.
probably you call it "PortableApps.com Extractor"

Destination Folder:
the second screen of the Installer let choose the directory for extraction.

There i miss the easy possibility to extract in the same dir of the installer.

hi

i like the portable apps suite very much
(i use the r30-mod)
but there is one thing i miss:
a comfortable system to uninstall/delete apps

i think it wouldn't be so difficult to develope such a feature
but it would be a good advantage

thanks stefan

Hey I'm just wondering if there is a way to make it so the portable apps menu automatically launches as the drive is detected, without a window popping up or anything? I've looked at the auto-play features but can't find anything.

Most all of the apps in porta apps are cross platformed, will there ever be a linux version?

Almost there......

I'm always annoyed at having to configure all of my web enabled apps to use different proxy servers when I go on a client site. More annoying when I forget to change them back when I get home.

The solution is to run my own proxy server.
I configure all of my apps to use a proxy server on "localhost:80"

When I change sites all I have to do is reconfigure my proxy server.

All Apps -> My ProxyServer -> RealProxy Server -> Internet

My problem is I could not find a local proxy server program, until I remembered Apache is bundled with XAMMPLite.

Hey guys.
Does any one know of any good PortableApps for synchronizing entire folders?
What I'm looking for is a way to keep a back-up of all my memory stick files on my school network drive. So, I want something that would allow me to sync a folder on my memory stick with my folder at school. I would like an application that saved and synched the most recently changed version of documents....
Can anyone suggest any programs????

Thanks

I'm not sure if this has been addressed or not, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to skin the Portableapps Menu. I love the look of it as-is, but would at least like the option to personalize.

I just wanted to thank John and the community for all their hard work! Keep up the good job of making our lives portable.
