I'm not sure where this topic should go, but I'll try here.

When I registered here, I got the following captcha.

who gives you "4x better clean"?

What kind of STUPID captcha is that? & why is the drop-down answer "Don't know" WRONG? Does whoever came up with that captcha REALLY think that I spend my whole life watching & memorizing every stupid toothpaste commercial, hoping that some jerk will finally invent the STUPIDEST captcha of ALL TIME?!

I have a java application that requires 512 MB ​​of heap memory to work, in practice should pass these values ​​to the virtual machine "-Xmx512m -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=1024m", there is' a way to pass these values ​​with jPortabeLaucher? Without these values, jPortableLauncher returns "Out Of Memory Error".
Thanks for the help

Fx sandboxie put a browser in a sandbox so it doesn't effect the system.

Does portableapps do the same when the browser has its own data/other folder?

For those willing to carry an HDD:

There appears to be a problem with Autoruns when installing. The error is "The downloaded copy of Autoruns is not valid and cannot be installed. Please try installing again." This appear appears when running as both regular user and administrator.

Sorry if this isn't the right spot, didn't see a "site support" forum.

Every time I log in, my password doesn't work.

I request a new one, open my email, use the temp login link, change the password, no go every time.

So now every time I have business here that requires me to login, I have to use the "request a password" temporary login.

Latest Chrome. Both using LastPass auto-remember and a regular login. Also tried with IE, no go.

Not a major issue I suppose, but thought I'd let you know.

It's been almost a year now.

JauntPE is a good candidate. Developed ceased but it can be forked and improved. Just need some volunteers.

Hi,

When Skype started the first time, Windows 7's default firewall ask me about allowing Skype. But to allow it, I needed for admin password. So why that it should be like this? There is no another way to start Skype without admin rights? Pidgin, Firefox, Chrome and others use internet too, but they don't need admin rights.

The firewall question is here: http://s13.postimg.org/f1fy0c76f/image.png

If I don't allow Skype works properly (as I see). But why it needs admin rights?

Thank you
