Password protecting USB drive?

Submitted by Day on December 15, 2006 - 5:15pm

I have a USB drive with U3 on it and the U3 software has a function to protect the drive with a password however on some computers (running WinXP or Win2000)usually the ones connected to a network the drive does not work as the window asking for the password does not show up. Is there a different program that can be used to protect the whole USB drive and works without a hitch?

Best Portable Software for Library Usage?

Submitted by tmbstone on December 15, 2006 - 3:32am

I currently visit my local library on a fairly regular basis and was curious what software you would recommend? Im going to use Portable Firefox, but thats about the extent of my knowledge. Im thinking I might need a proxy as fantasy sports sites seemed to be blocked. Do I need some sort of spyware/antivirus? Any software that may remove any cookies/temp files? All help is greatly appreciated.

FF Extension

Here's my idea:
I'm going to try and create an extension that will try and find the following:
<a href="...#new">x new</a>
And then create a nsIAlert saying if a post was found.
Anyone want to help me since I know almost nil about extension developing?

Portable Apps Suite Icons

Submitted by Thomas.Humphries on December 14, 2006 - 8:24am

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to have bigger icons for the suite.
I would like just icons or at least a 128x128 icon.

I am aware that this would make the app look awful but if it was JUST icond and had them 3 in a row I thik this would look nice.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Thom.
