General Discussion

Hey All,

So after a mishap a long ago with my USB drive (the WD 6gb Portable HD), my USB adapter was quite tenuous. Well 6 months later while attempting to remove it from the USB port, it finally snapped off.

After I had ordered a new one (they can be found significantly cheaper now), I decided to open the little drive up. Inside was a 6 GB CF+ Type II Microdrive. I promptly thought... "well the drive should still be good, it was just the USB adapter that was broken".

I was just wondering if there is any way that I can change the order of the programs in my PortableApps menu.

Congratulations John (and everyone that helped), PortableApps Suite 1.0 made Maximum PC's 5th Annual Softy Awards. It's in the April 2007 issue. Definitely well deserved.

Hi guys, take a look at the picture for the program that Verbatim will bundle with their latest portable drive.

I've been looking but can't seem to find a good, simple password utility to lock a folder on my USB drive. Is there any freeware app that is simple and effective?

thanks

Hi all.....
This stumble couldn't have come in a better time since I'm leaving for the next 2 months and want to keep working on the road.
I heard about a special USB drive by sandisk that you can install software on and use it anywhere. Is this what this application is about?
Can I install any software I want on it and use it elsewhere? or is it specific software that I saw published on the right side of the main page?

Thanks

When I connect USB device to my computer apps menu freezes. I can start applications but I can not disconnect with button in menu. This happens only on my computer. So I am sure that is something wrong on my computer. I think that is something in registry but where.

I have been reading the forums a lot on how to get Skype working in portable apps, and actually had a U3 USB drive for about two weeks. (Bought it at OfficeMax and returned it two weeks later because I didn't like it. No problems.) And I see that Skype has a U3 application. So my question is, could a wrapper or launcher be written to allow U3 applications to work in portableapps.com. U3 claims to be a standard, so I don't think there is any copy infringments,

Thank you all for your interest in this project.

I know most programs do indeed work ,but some do not work, such as OpenOffice
