EDIT 3: Much better version posted later on at https://portableapps.com/node/639#comment-2238

EDIT: Updated scripts, fully working with autorun and no dos boxes are in my reply below.

EDIT 2: This doesn't work from a limited account, but doesn't cause any problems, it just won't automatically unmount if you aren't an administrator.

What is the difference between U3 and regular USB flash drives?

I'm thinking of getting a new one, so should I go for U3?

Well tomorrow I head back to school armed with only my head... and of course my Portable Apps filled Usb.
Will use Pfx to convince teachers to switch
Just thought I`d say thanks
And John check out my topic on the beta testing forum

Hey..
I'm wondering.
What's the difference if I put Portable Firefox from U3, and if I took portable firefox from this site?

Don't really understand the difference.

I am in love with your portable applications, especially firefox and openoffice. I keep unzipping them to computers where I'm not an administrator (ie school library computers). I love the fact that I can use openoffice in a university library that is in love with microsoft.

I was wondering whether you are planning to port them to linux. I would love to share the same firefox -themes, extensions, and bookmarks- (and use new openoffice without installation as my distro has the buggy beta) both in my desktop and laptop without screwing around.

thanks for the stuff. kicks a**!

PS. I found a couple of forum topics that suggest a portable linux (DSL) and one with no replies that asks the same thing.

Hi, I'm using the suite (great idea - thanks!).

What should I do when the app prompts to upgrade. At the moment I'm not upgrading because I fear it will install the full version instead of the portable.

would it be possible to make a program that integrates with Filemon etc and reroutes the requests?

also check out my standard procedure:
Convert apps to portable

What is this whole ApponKey thing? The user is spamming.

now I know that its impossible to autorun off a usb
but can any programs do this?

@John please answer my post on the beta testing forums

http://www.photofiltre.com/
On this site you can find PhotoFiltre 6.1.5 - a nice little photo editor with viewer.
It is free and works from USB (its size is less than 3MB). You only need to copy PhotoFiltre.exe and TranslationEN.plg (if you want English instead of French language) from the folder with installation.
It seems to me that PhotoFiltre 6.1.5 may be good portable image editor and viewer.
