hi ,

When PortableApps platform Application is started I want to start some set of applications automatically.
is there any way to do this ?

For those that can't afford a $90 flash drive there is a 4GB version for $65 here: http://www.apricorn.com/products/hardware-encrypted-drives/aegis-secure-...

It appears to have the same security as the Carbide one. And while it doesn't have PortableApps on it adding them shouldn't be difficult.

Hi guys
I'm want to instal Damn Small Linux on my 8GB Micro SD and I don't have access to a computer with admin rites.
The only program I could find to do this is UUI (Universal USB Installer), but its not portable and is thus blocked by the computer.
I'm wondering if there is a portable equivelant that would allow me to do the same?
(and no, begging whoever the admin is to allow me to instal DSL is out of the question XD)

I am trying to run the latest version of McAfee Stinger Portable, posted 13 May, but when the app runs, it comes up with some screen showing command line options and never proceeds to the main GUI of Stinger. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I am running Windows 7 x64 and it's up-to-date. Thanks.

Hi,

i know that we can compare the position and layout of the PDF image, but am not sure whether we can compare the image as a whole.

can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,

I am just a portable software beginner, anyone has appinfo editor?
thanks.

Out of curiosity would it be possible to prevent,suppress or disable chromes internet connection locally.

The reason I ask is that I've enabled --allow-file-access-from-files for local use. I'm curious but could this be used maliciously if a user somehow accessed the web? At present I've not allowed them any way to get to the web but I'm curious about the security risks this may present.

Perhaps I'm being over cautious or maybe naive. I wondered if anyone has come across this dilemma before?

Hi,

I've been using jPortable for a while and like it a lot. Now I need to work on a project with an old library that requires the older Java versions (it won't work with the current jPortable_7*). Where can I download the older jPortable_6* packages? Thanks for any help.

Hello All,

I have a 'kit' that I use regularly. It includes the following types of apps (none of which follow the portableapps standard - in fact I haven't used portableapps in the past and am not using it now, though I'd like to):

Applications which are not portable, must be installed and registered (they requiring licensing).
Applications which are 'portable - i.e. I copy them on and run them without installation).
Applications which are 'portable' and run in the command line interface.
Python scripts which run in the terminal.

I've noticed this on a few forums but the solution found by others is not working for me.

When chrome is closed a chrome.exe is still running in the task manager. In the following forums they recommend disabling background apps, which I have.

The current work around solution I've found is to use a bat to kill the processes:

taskkill /f /im chrome.exe 2>nul
