locking down portable version of Chromium from extensions

Submitted by xbibleyosef on June 6, 2014 - 12:06pm

I have a portable version of Chromium on my USB drive, I'm specifically using the XChromium version.

This is working absolutely great, there is a black branded theme and a proxy application included.

Often if I try this USB drive on some of my test PCs then Avast (or probably any other AV client) will try to install a browser extension.

I'd like to to prevent it from installing any other extensions. This product will be used by folks with limited IT knowledge (and English) and I want to minimise complexity.

Finding PortableApps Other than Free and Opensource?

Submitted by Plettschner on June 4, 2014 - 9:47pm

Where would one find listings or a directory of PortableApps that are available, other than the free and open source apps listed here?

I noticed the other day that Ultra Edit has a version available for the PortableApps platform... I would imagine there are other products out there too, but can't seem to find a list of them.... if there is such a thing.

Anyone?

ReactOS has recently started the "ReactOS Open Source Support Program".
Tell the Developer(s) of your favourite Open Source Software. Software in this program will be provided "extra attention" to ensure that they are working (and continue to work) on ReactOS. Also they will be listed in ReactOS Community Edition's "Setup App Manager", which will "allow software to be pre-staged in an installation image", and Note: "The service is free to all software under a free or open source license and is intended to help provide wider audiences to such programs."

want to tell UAC to not appear when using certain portable app

Submitted by xbibleyosef on May 31, 2014 - 1:24pm

how can I do this?

I need to distribute a USB drive with Truecrypt (yes I know its not supported now, I don't care. It works perfect for what I need. No politics in this thread please)

I want to make sure Windows does not keep asking me for UAC every time Truecrypt mounts/dismounts.

This needs to be a portable app that runs with a script quietly in the background.

any idea please?
