Hi,

Sorry if this is the wrong area. I think it would be nice to have the ability to launch an application that is a .jar file. I have a program call openproj ( a MS Project Clone ) and it is based on Java. When I run the EXE File that it is detected by the App launcher, it gives me an error. Because the application EXE is controlled by an ini file (for Paths) to launch the jar file, it displays an error. However, I can run the jar file, when I browse to it, in Win Explorer, and it works, but the app launcher app does not allow execution of a Jar file to be added as a short-cut.

Can I create a portable app that requires a dongle(and not have to carry the dongle with me)?

I want to use a public PC to do some banking when I am overseas. I intend use the portable apps on a flash drive. I have never done that before. The claim is that it leaves no footprint behind on the PC; has that been verified recently? I need some reassurance.

hey guys today I picked up a fresh copy of Maximum PC and useually they include some apps in a cd and low and behold PortableApps Suite included on the cd

Guys,
I read a thread here (from 2006) about usb removal scripts.
I just wrote my own 2 scripts. I think they're worth checking out.

The first is a standard script that copies devcon.exe and then removes the usb. it does NOT leave any cmd.exe processes. no windows are shown.

The seconds is kinda special. It actually CREATES devcon.exe so the only file needed is the script itself! it's not size efficient (the script size is 10 times larger than devcon.exe itself) but the idea is nice, i think.

Hi,
I'm new to Portable Apps. It's a great idea. If this has already been answered, I apologize for asking it again, but I couldn't find anything in a search.

I can't get any of the portable apps to connect to the Internet, including ClamWin, Firefox, etc. Could someone point in the right direction for a solution to this problem. It would be greatly appreciated.

I am using Vista 64-bit, if that makes any difference.

Thanks for your help.

About the show:

I'm looking for a program that can rip music from and audio CD without quality degradation. The audio must be ripped in a Lossless format so that the original quality is maintained. I would prefer the app to be freeware and portable, not necessrily a PortableApp Release. Thank you.

Hey i was searching the forum for how to create a theme. I couldent find anything so im hoping that there wasent a post about this and that i just missed it.

Anyway how do you make a theme?

Also how do you make a custom theme not just changing the colours like actually change the size of it, what you can click etc

I've noticed that drupal supports a thing called OpenID which i use on certain sites, including mine. Can portableapps.com start supporting this feature? thanks
