When I use a portable app with a USB drive on someones computer and complete whatever I was doing and remove the drive, is anything left behind that will either change the host computer or identify my usage.

I was always a U3 user and part time portable app user. U3 programs left nothing behind on the host computer but portable not only left things behind but also changed things on the host computer.

In the table of languages I have searched after an appropriate LocalName for the Bosnian language. But I can't find such a LocalName. On Wikipedia I found out, that the Bosnian language is related with the Croatian or Serbian language. Personally I have decided, that I can use for the Bosnian language the LocalName "Serbian" or "Croatian". What do you think?

PortableApps distributed installer is on the PE header that indicates the possible relocation, but the actually relocation information is invalid, an "Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" error occurs in the following situations:

Portableapps.com is beautiful site and effort to creating portable apps.

Having the splash screen is a little waste of time in the app loading and unnecessary. We all know how good portableapps.com is and there's no need for further advertising. It is known in its own right. So please disable it.

When I run the paf.exe file it either installs or upgrades. When it upgrades, it deletes some files also. It is great that paf.exe file takes care of upgrade intelligently (presumably without loosing old settings and any new settings that were not present in old version, will nicely get merged etc when we start using the app).

It would be useful to see a log of the installation/upgrade process (especially upgrade of course). Presently when I click "show details" it shows deleting.., extracting..., etc but these are lost the moment installation/upgrade is done.

Thank you for the awesomeness

I generally access the website using IE. I used Chrome Portable today and when the page was half loaded I got diverted to a new page without a URL that stated that a Norton/Symantec chrome-extension was blocking access because this is a known fraudulent site. I have sent an email to an address I found on the Symantec site, but it may not be the right one.

I tried the page in IE with no problem.

This may be the extension that pulled the trigger:
Norton Identity Protection 2012.5.4.6
Symantec Corporation

Here's the text of the page:

Hello, my Name is Crusisx and I would love to learn how I can make a portable app with PortableApps. I want to learn what will be needed in order to make a successful portable app, what programs do you recommend for building the portable app? What is the basic breakdoawn of everything i need to do step by step in order. If someone can give a in depth explanation so a newbie like me can comprehend everything I will gladly appreciate it.

I would like to keep it "open" without having it "collapse" after choosing an App., and as I recall, it can be done with the addition of certain words in a P/A file. Does anyone remember this detail?

I find it annoying that the PortableApp launcher is auto-hiding in the taskbar all the time. Is there a way to avoid that?
