PortableFileAssociatordoes not start

Submitted by farat_as on December 10, 2013 - 8:22am

Hi,

When I click PortableFileAssociatordoes.exe it does nothing. Nothing is opening.

-I format my laptop with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit English. I have did all Windows updates first.

-I remove Data folder but it changes nothing.

-I redownload it again but nothing changed.

-I start it from command line. But it types nothing.

-I am using 2.2.1.8 version (which is latest stable).

Is there any possible reason such a case happen?

Thank you

Why Windows Firewall can not block portable apps?

Submitted by farat_as on December 5, 2013 - 2:52pm

Hi,

Why I can not block portable apps with Windows default Firewall?

I try this command as administrator rights:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="PORTABLE_WiseDiskCleaner" dir=out action=block program="E:\PortableApps\PortableApps\WiseDiskCleanerPortable\App\WiseDiskCleaner\WiseDiskCleaner.exe"

But WiseDiskCleaner still use my network. How can I block with Windows default firewall (or settings)?

Thanks in advance

"Download xxxAPPNAMExxx" shouldn't appear on the page and the green download button graphic is missing. That, or something else isn't right on the following page Smile

Portableapps will not run with protected autorun.inf file made with BitDefender USB Immunizer

Submitted by Clever Mind on December 2, 2013 - 12:50am

Hello,

I use a program from BitDefender that installs a malformed autorun.inf file that prevents any and all windows based programs from altering the file.

The program can be downloaded from here: http://labs.bitdefender.com/2012/04/immunizer-v3-launched/

and here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Removal-Tools/BitDefender-USB-Imm...

I have all my USB drives protected using this program. The issue that I am having is Portableapps will not run with this file installed on the USB thumb drive or USB hard drive.

Submitted by roo79 on November 28, 2013 - 6:31am

I would like to know if it is possible to somehow stop the platform from showing a preview when you hover over the taskbar icon?

I know about the below info, but would like to keep the icon on the taskbar if I can.

VPN Help

Submitted by paradoxum on November 27, 2013 - 11:34am

Hi,

Firstly, I'm not even sure this is possible -

I would like to set up my windows 8 desktop PC at home as a VPN server, and then at college use my USB stick with portableapps on it to launch apps such as firefox, thunderbird etc, using the proxy/connection settings which will connect them to my home VPN, and then allow me to access the internet freely via this method. Is this even possible?
