Where are the registry entries stored?

Submitted by SebastianJu on December 31, 2023 - 6:00am

Hello,

I didn't find the search function in the forum, so I will ask directly. With portable apps, where are the registry entries stored? Surely for most apps there need to be a rerouting since they otherwise would request infos from the windows registry directly.

I would like to change some setting that I would have to change in the registry normally, but with portable apps it's likely some file, right?

Thank you!

Thank you, John (re: Ads)

I know this isn't the right platform for talking to you, but I don't know where that one is, so here goes: You told us some time ago that the ad saturation thing was temporary, to test various things, and I think everybody understood the need for exploring ways to increase the revenue of PA.com. I, for one, am relieved to see that the experimental stage appears to have passed, and I just want to thank you for giving us back the site we hold dear without being bowled over by ads everywhere. I hope the revenue situation is improving.

Thunderbird Portable to Thunderbird migration?

Submitted by Tim Chesnutt on December 23, 2023 - 10:55am

I have been happily using Thunderbird portable for some long time now (I see my membership here is 17+ yrs). In past years I did use it to travel with just a USB drive or a hard drive, but in more recent times, I am realizing I am now only ever on my PC, or on my own laptop, just plugging my drive into which ever I will be using at the time (PC at home and laptop to travel)

PortableApps pathing question.

I have OBS Portable installed on a USB stick. Within OBS, I have it set to store videos on the USB stick under the Videos folder. I also have a png file stored on the USB stick to use as a logo in new videos.

The first few times I ran it, the USB stick was assigned to the D drive. As such, OSB is set to look to the D drive for the above mentioned file paths.

I just plugged the USB stick in again (in the same PC) and it got assigned to the E drive even though there was no other external drive connected and the D drive was not assigned to anything.

Hello,
I'm so grateful to have discovered such a great piece of software when I did, and quite candidly I really wish that I would have discovered the platform much sooner than I did !! I'm currently running the portableapps software on a San Disk Cruzer Glide 128 GB USB Thumb Drive, while I'm thinking about the subject, is there a certain technical specification that needs to be met so as to be able to the best results overall ? Merry Christmas & Happy New Year To Everyone

Full isolated browser

Submitted by antoniol1989 on December 10, 2023 - 3:19am

Hi,

I have a problem...
My mother (an old woman) use hers computer to check email, navigate internet, find information.
About every 3 moths I have to reformat the computer for viruses, unwanted programs, crashed file that slow down the machine.

I would portabilize a browser (I prefer Ungoogled Chromium) in FULL ISOLATED sandbox.
The problem is the conflict with the sandbox builted in into Chrome.

Have you any ideas how to perform this goal?

Thanks
