coping contents/application from one drive to another

Submitted by joemommapoo on April 4, 2007 - 12:06pm

we are planning to train a large group of teacher how to use usb drives and portable apps. We want to give each teacher a drive with the programs already on them. Is their any way to do load the programs faster? We have been just coping the contents of one drive onto the next, etc.

Black Frame

Submitted by Milbes on April 4, 2007 - 6:36am

Hi,

My System here: Fujitsu-Siemens Scenic N (Mainboard D1961), onboard graphics card (SIS 661FX Rev 01) and size 1600*1200.

When I start Portable Appsthe red Frame is smaller then portable apps is. At the right side and at the bottom of portable Apps I have an 2cm thick line. When I want to close portable Apps I have to click in the black line above the clock (not on the close Bottom). The list of the installed programs ends outside the frame.

PA isn't working on Vista

Submitted by didierjo on April 2, 2007 - 9:25pm

I found out my U3 equipped 512mb Traveldrive doesn't like my new laptop with vista very much. I uninstalled U3 and (correctly)installed the base version of Portable Apps, and every time it's insertted, Vista has a fit and needs to find a driver for it. When I take it with me to school, the XP Pro computers there run it flawlessly. Is (or has) anyone else had this problem, or does someone have a solution for me?

Post Your PAM Themes - Posts Only No Discussion

Since the other PAM Themes Forum is really getting out of hand, I propose this.
1. Post only a line or two about your theme\themes.
2. To avoid multiple posts if you have multiple themes, link to a page listing your themes.
3. NO REPLIES, this will allow the authors to come back and edit their posts when they update or add themes.
4. If you must comment use the Post Your PAM Themes Comments Forum again to keep this one manageable.
5. Try to keep your posts to only 2 or 3 lines so the thread doesn't get unnecessarily lengthy.

For applications that need fixed drive letter

I found a work around for applications that need a drive letter.
Copy subst.exe from windows\system32 to your flash drive.
create a batch file with the following command.
subst.exe P: \
drive letter P: will be assigned to the flash drive you ran subst.exe from.
Now your flash drive will always have the same drive letter.
And yes this means it will actually have 2 drive letters, but P: will always be constant, it won't change.

when your done
run subst.exe /d P: to delete the drive letter, you can put this in a batch file as well.

How to stop keyloggers?

Submitted by gheorg53 on April 2, 2007 - 1:20pm

Hello,

I need a good software tool to stop keyloggers. I searched on Google and found an overwhelming offer, some free and some paid; but I am interested in your personal suggestions, something that you use and are satisfied with! Smile Also many anti spyware tools that I've found are basing on a signature database, and might not work with custom home made keyloggers or spware. Anyone knows a tool that blocks keyloggers and spyware without using a signature database?
