New update here:
https://portableapps.com/node/11960

Howdy all and welcome to another exciting PortableApps.com Update. I know this is falling a little late in the week, so it's really more of a week summary rather than a what's coming, but at least it's here. And they ran out of punch and pie at the store, so there's cookies and Fresca in the back today.

I was working on a way to COPY and REMOVE folders in Application Data when I accidentally removed ALL sub folders Application Data while I thought I removed only Application Data\testfolder.

Even my quick launch bar is now gone Sad

Some of NSIS are very sketchy and googling didn't help either. Well I found a 'solution' but that wiped my whole Application Data folder clean. I have no idea how to restore it or what will happen if I reboot...

association with rar/zip files

Submitted by gugudl on February 28, 2008 - 12:40pm

Is there anyway to make portableapps open rar/zip files?
in my pen drive is better to keep the files compressed instead .exe. because that way, i can safe some space.Files .exe are bigger than .zip/.rar.So would better i add files .rar/.zip in the main menu but as far i know i can't do that due the file association with .exe or .paf.exe.
any idea?

and sorry for my bad english.

thanks all

What do you recommend?

I'm looking for a program that will password protect anyone from accessing my UBS drive. I'm a teacher, and grades, reports, etc are on my usb drive. So if a student took it from me, it would at least like to have the security of the kid not being able to open the usb drive without a password. Is there a portable program like this that I could use?

also, I was wondering if there was a portable keylogger?

Suggestion for the 'What is a portable app' page

Submitted by RogerL on February 27, 2008 - 4:16pm

I thought something like the following ought to be on the page. I know it's obvious but there's mileage in spelling it out?

These are big advantages to me - not very well worded I know, but you get the idea.

And last but not least

  • No setup/install in Windows required
  • No multiple copies on multiple PCs to maintain
  • No installs required of favourite apps when get a new PC, a new hard drive or need to reformat and reload OS
