General Discussion

Hi!

On Windows 7 Pro. SP1 I log in as a user who is not an administrator in Windows but only a "restricted" user (more precisely, the user is not a member of the local Administrators group but is only a member of the local Users group). Sometimes I need to run an app as another user in Windows, namely as a user who is an administrator on the local machine or an administrator in a Windows domain (in corporate environment). I can't find a way to do it in PortableApps 11.2.

Any idea why when browsing the forum today trying to go back doesn't work? Using IE 9 on Win 7. Using the Back arrow or Alt+Left shows links pointing to:

I know I can add the URL to my Security page but why/where is this coming from all of a sudden?

When I click on a xyz.paf.exe file nothing happens
I can only see via Task Manager/process
that the process xyz.paf.exe is started and
even when I have choosed end task, I can't delete
the downloaded xyz.paf.exe file.
Only when I restart the laptop then I can delete it.
Is there a work arround so that the apps *.paf.exe are running
under the desktop interface of Window8 Pro .

Thanks

Is there any way to restrict the result of searches of the forum by date? Generally, results from 2005 are not as helpful as someone might think.

UPDATE: Feature added to PortableApps.com Platform in 2018

I have this problem where i pin the launcher in taskbar on win 8 but i get another icon running as well, since processes and launcers have different filenames. If i launch the process directly, it doesn't seem to load correct profile (chrome,firefox) and it launches a clean profile with no personal settings. What can i do so that the active window is the one on taskbar so i dont have 2 separate icons there?

i just updated to last portable skype and now i cant send any text i type i just can send emoticons or pictures WTF LOL ?!

Hi all,

1. What kind of font support does exist by PortableApps platform/framework, in order to make TTF fonts available inside PortableApps to become available to either PortableApps applications or to non-portableApps already installed in PC ?

HI,

I am looking for a couple of applications that I can copy to a pendrive and will run under Linux, especially UBUNTU 9.10.

I would like use a light word processing package that supports docs, and a video package that supports the common formats.

I have tried to locate these packages, but the only ones that I have found will not run.

Thanks

so if i use PortableApps.com Platform to update for example my opera
will i lose all settings like sites on which im logged in ?
or skin i selected or options in opera i turned on or off ?

or program will just update and all settings and modifications i made will still be there ?

and will that work for chrome and firefox too ?

or skype ?

so after skype updates via PortableApps.com Platform i will need to log in again and again change options to my needs or will it all be like before update ?

As today is "I love Free Software" - Day, I wanted to say a big
"Thank You"
to all the developers here, especially to the founder, lead dev and hopefully recovering John T. Haller!
Although mobile apps, smartphones and tablets are booming tremendously, the last years have seen a steady increase in users who rely on portable apps every day.(at least thats what I read into the mounting download numbers and increasing load on this site ;))
