If desktop chrome is running and I launch portable chrome via portable apps, after I close the portable chrome portable apps still thinks that portable chrome is running until I close desktop chrome, preventing me from "safely" removing the flash drive.

Without using PortableApps Platform, how to turn off the splash screen when CherryTree starts?

Thanks in advance.

The .ini file for Thunderbird looks like this on machine #1.

[ThunderbirdPortableSettings]
AgreedToLicense=YES
LastProfileDirectory=F:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile

The USB drive enumeration might be different on another machine.
Does this get handled in some way?

regards,

Hi, I installed PortableApps on an Windows 8 PE/SE USB 3.0 Stick with 32GB. The install went well and I started to add Apps to the bas install. Now I got the error that I didn't have enough drive space available for install let say Open Office and others.

I have Google Drive installed but the installer does not find/recognize it. Is there a way to tell it where it is?

Being new this may not be the right place forgive, I thought it important.

While looking for a version of Deluge (Super Prog) I could run from Win7 installed on an external harddisk I found your Homeside good place lots I could use, thank you. Donate to follow.

I tried DelugePortable_1.3.11_English.paf and DelugePortable_1.3.7_Dev_Test_1_English.paf

The 1.3.11 would not run from the win7 on the external, but 1.3.7 did.

I then tested both on an another external harddisk to the internal Win7.

in PortableApps land? Thank you.

I just wanted to clarify, because I use Iron Browser.

If I download Iron browser portable from their website, their forum users complain that the app isn't truly portable, that some files are written onto the C drive into some untraceable folder that can't be easily deleted.

When I use a browser app from Portable apps, is it all guaranteed to stay within it's own folder?

I wish to remove some apps from my console. I do a comparison on similar apps offered through Portable Apps and wish to only keep one of each kind at present. How might I remove from my console? Thank you.

I have been having strange problems with the latest official portable versions of OpenOffice, Firefox, and Thunderbird being used on the hard drive of a Vista PC and seeing the same problems on a Windows 7 PC. Incidentally, when I started using these Portable Apps about 5 years ago there was never a problem. I almost never use LibreOffice since it downgraded OOo's navigator in Write, but I've seen the problem on LibreOffice as well.

Periodically, any of those programs just freeze for no reason. The top bar says "not responding" and, if clicked on, the windows have a faded white overlay.
