Is there any way (under 20 steps and using 3rd party software) to rename the menu listings? i.e. Turning "Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition" into "Firefox"?

Also, I'm having trouble getting the autorun.ini to.... well...... auto run...
It's installed on the root of the drive and looks like it has the correct syntax.. but I'm not positive...

I recall seeing a post once that a member was longing for a fax viewer. A lot of image viewers will read a front page but not multiple pages. I used eFAX for a while and then a UK based service. XP i'm told does cope with multiple pages but how well.

I discovered a 3rd party addon called AlternaTIFF which is available for FREE not listed in Mozilla addons (last update Nov 2006) - versions for IE, Netscape and other browsers. Also a free basic (lightweight) portable one called Tiff Viewer by www.compact.uk.com.

I'm starting a new project: Portable Apps for Linux!!

I'll be having more details coming soon, including website, and other infromation.

Who's up for me?

I'm finally on holidays! Thank John for that.

Anyway, I'd like to know, what apps would you like to see the most? (i.e. more games, more office tools, etc. No specific apps please)

Will PortableApps every be Ceedo - 30 Day Trial + Working Firefox and other apps + Compatibility with other OSes? And even better?

P.S. I really love PortableApps and am waiting for something else in the Games column...

I have read this thread several times and have enjoyed reading all the apps people have on USB. But it has now got so long - isn't it time for that thread to be closed and another "What's on your portable#2? started

Hi - I don't know if anyone can help, but I have just installed XAMPP using portableapps. I installed manually as suggested, and while apachge and php work fine, when I click "Xampp start" I get a DOS box containing the message:

Please wait [Bitte warten] Could not open required defaults file: mysql\bin\my.cnf
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted

The my.cnf is there... any ideas?

Cheers

Excuse my ignorance but can MAC open source projects be re-jigged for Windows?

I like the look of Pixen 3

http://opensword.org/pixen/

It is Open Source

for some reason when i plug in my drive to my comp, all of the buttons are at the top and then ther is a big black part where the rest of the menu is supposed to be. another wierd thing is that the buttons that should be at the base of the menu show up at the top with the rest of the menu but the bottom buttons work on the bottom of the screen. this also dosent happen on other comps. anyone know whazup??
