General Discussion

This just started happening. I remove the usb drive per normal, plug it back in later, one or more portable apps are gone, ie, I still see then entry in Pstart, but no icon. I go to explorer to look within the specific app directory for the files, and all the files are gone. This happens randomly and with differing apps. There are no viruses on the usb drive. Thx for any help.

Hello everyone - New PortableApps user here & so far I love it!

I recently saw this article about a program that can vitualize software and I wonder if it is something that might be able to be used portably. Here is the link to the article:

Has anyone else seen this? I think it's cool how it can redirect registry calls to itself and I'm thinking something like this could be really useful. Any thoughts?

Did you realize Limewire & Frostwire are portable straight from the box?
Just copy their installation folders to folders on your USB memory stick.

The only needs are the machine they're running on must have a resent version of JAVA installed.

Only a few minor issues

Start either from the .JAR file (frostwire.jar, limewire.rar.)
Both will have you go thru the options setup every time they are run.

Just be sure in both to point to a location on your stick to download to and goto options in both and have them shutdown immediately and not show a icon in the system tray.

Guys,

I was trying out yadabyte encryption software and now i've managed to encrypt my whole mydocuments folder but when I enter the password in Yadabyte its rejecting it!!

Anyone help!?

When I haven't been logged in for a while, I always see the threads that where updated or answered to marked as "new". Then I can click on the "new" and it leads me directly to the new post.
But when the thread is longer than one page (like the "Whats on your portable?"-thread), it doesn't jump to the next new post.
Why?
Can it be fixed or is it drupal?

I just noticed, and I'm not sure how long its been like this, but how is it that the launcher no longer runs as a process? Is this because the launcher does not make any modifications to the registry, or clean up any files on exit?

Also is there a way to make the launcher use less memory? Currently the PAT 1.4.1 uses about 7mb memory.

I've recently became aware of PortableApps and have installed it on my thumbdrive. Previously had a U3 drive but it was "hit or miss" if it would work on other PCs'.

I'm wondering if any of you good people can refer me to which applications provides syncronization with MS Outlook, if any. I'd like to be able to have my calendar, address book, etc. accessible thru the drive.

This is an Excellent work.

Is it possible to remove/add the icon to a usb key that contains the Portable Apps utility?

I just moved all my Portable Apps software to another usb key. I would like the Icon that shows up on under My Computer to be the icon for Portable Apps.

I then want to remove the icon from the old usb key. I need to keep the data on it as it is a self-booting boot network boot key.

The icon is great for identification purposes.

Hey all. Sorry, I haven't been around the forums for a few days and haven't done any updates. My best friend was hit by a car on Friday night... it was pretty bad. It looks like he'll be mostly ok, but he's still in the hospital and may be for another week. I've been spending most of my time there since it happened.

Hi, I'm new to this forum but I'm totally addicted to portable programs. It's a shame that there still are so many programs that need to be installed

And that's exactly what I wanna ask you guys about. (I have searched this forum a couple of days ago and my search came up empty so I hope I'm not asking something that has been posted under different words)
