I've tried adding TweakUI to my PortableApps menu without any success. Can someone share with me the secret to getting the app to show up in the PortableApps menu? Right now I have TweakUI.exe in a directory in the PortableApps directory like all my other apps but for some reason, it will not show up even when I refresh the list. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

I'm fairly surprised this hasn't been implemented already (at least I couldn't find it on the website) and the forum search just showed up people asking about having a bittorrent client as part of the suite, so I decided to post this topic about having links to bittorrent downloads of the PortableApps software.

Found this through lifehacker, gave it a shot, and look, it's out Firefox (and looks like several others but I haven't checked them yet, and doubt that they're be illegal)

Have fun, get the copyright police on them!

I found this free Anti-virus through a google search http://www.mxone.net/en/ and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of it here and uses it to protect their flash drive.

I think at least one difference from something like ClamWin portable is this runs in real time detecting changes as they occur, so you could catch a virus loading on to your flash drive right away.

So any opinions of this AV? Does it look safe to use?

Thanks.

Hi,

I intend to download openoffice (portable) using a download manager.

Does the server support Resume?

Thanks

Don't exactly know where to put this, so its going here.

Looking through the temp folder one day, i found various combination of folders like nsq2EB.tmp. Shouldn't part of the cleanup of portable programs remove the files it created in the temporary folder?

Cmon, its portable, meaning leaving NO traces on the computer. If an admin or someone else with elevated privliges looks at your temp folder, they have a nice long list of portable programs you used.

Technibble, the Australian site for aspiring computer techies, recently released the second version of its popular Computer Repair Utility Kit, a collection of 57 hand picked tools to help you diagnose and repair your Windows machine.

Uses some portable apps.

Wondering if Portable Apps are just as good as a semi-permanent solution for day to day use as opposed to their installed brethren.

I chatted about this earlier, but papps broke pretty good during a back up last night. I set the backup in motion and when I came in this morning, it said it had finished and was complete.

But the drive wouldn't allow me to access anything. It showed up as zero size and would run Chkdsk. When I ejected the drive and put it back in, it would prompt for autorun, but then would ask what program to use to open the file. It shows no files on it whatsoever.

I'm working on adding the ability to more easily quote what others have posted in the forums. It'll probably be implemented as an add-on allowing you to click a "Quote" button below a user's post. But appearance-wise, it'll look like:

John T. Haller I heard that a number of people like quotes in forums and things like that. Do you like the ability to do pretty quotes like this?

This is accomplished using the following code in the post:
