General Discussion

Just like to give everyone a heads up that you might want to upgrade to Thunderbird 2.0 manually, as you probably won't get an auto-update alert.

Anyone aware of such a program? Basically a program that performs a similar role to hfnetchk/microsoft baseline scanner?

Thanks

Hey, i just bought a u3 drive, I decided to go with portableapps instead. I look up how to get rid of u3 system but keep the autorun system. so i replace the u3 iso with my custom one, and it worked. but when i plug it in, it reads the autorun then it brings up a "no disk" error. but if i hit continue it brings up my appmenu anyway. any ideas?.

I just made my Partition Magic 8.0 portable. However, whenever used in conjunction with the PortableApp's menu, the entire directory of files shows up in the list of applications. Is there a loader program I can use to link to PMagic.exe in a subfolder? This is what I am thinking:

Thumb:\PortableApps\PartitionMagicPortable\App\PMagic.exe
Thumb:\PortableApps\PartitionMagicPortable\LOADER.exe (points to PMagic.exe so all the files aren't shown in the PortableApps Menu)

This may sound stupid or not even possible but, is there a way to make your portable apps start automatically without the autrun menu. Our school on some of the computers has blocked that autorun startup menu. I have to take a long and complicated way around to get to my files. Is there a way to bypass autorun and still startup.

thanks in advance

Hi guys, great forum you got here! I have a quick question. I am wanting to set up a flash drive to run apps. The problem I am finding is when I install portable apps to the drive it works fine. If I take it to another computer, Windows may assign it a different drive letter then the apps dont work because the path is wrong. I want to set up my drive to run much like a normal desktop setting. I have two options the way I see it and was wanting feedback from you all on the subject.

Ok, Here's a thread where you can rate your flash drive(s) on a scale of 1-10, and list some of it's pros/cons.
(I just thought this might be interesting, and also informative for those who are looking to purchase a new USB drive)

I've been wondering ever since this site started why you only support Microsoft Windows (and I've finally bothered to get myself a forum account). Thanks for offering a great service BTW.

It would really be useful, for Portable Apps where this is possible, to have an archive that includes the binaries for MSW, GNU/Linux and MacOS with shared settings.

SourceForge.net has PortableApps on the 50th place of the All-Time Top Downloads and 14th place this week for Top 100 Projects by Downloads. Congratulations John!

This is probably not the right place to ask... but If you don't ask, you don't receive an answer...

I'm using PStart, when I close PStart, I have an entry to convey with -exit and "run on exit" that works very good.

I just want to know if there is a way like that (I don't see this kind of command lines in help files on other apps) to close/exit/quit, not kill, apps like specifically KeePass, nPOP and stickies...

Thanks in advance.-
