How do I add PortableApps to Hiren's Boot CD?

Submitted by seding1983 on January 6, 2013 - 5:31pm

If anyone is familiar with the popular Hiren's Boot CD you'll note that he already includes several programs in the .iso that are launched with a command-script shortcut. Among these are 7-zip, CCleaner, Defraggler, etc.

What I want to know is how to add PortableApps in their "native" format to a custom Hiren's Boot image. In the extracted archive is a folder "Programs" which contains the command scripts and a subfolder "Files" which contains the actual programs they launch.

portableapps launcher in windows autoplay?

Submitted by sicnessrusso95 on January 4, 2013 - 1:37pm

the idea just came to me one day, i would like to know if anybody would be willing to try to build a small program for windows 7 that runs silently in the background but when you plug in a flash drive or device with portable apps on it, there is an option in the AutoPlay that says launch PortableApps Platform. If there is already something similar please let me know.

icon and label problem

Submitted by nomad103 on December 24, 2012 - 3:12pm

I downloaded and was using PortableApps.com in the form of Google Chrome browser. I recently deleted it. Meanwhile, when I click on "My Computer" my primary drive is now labeled "PortableApps.com" and the hard drive icon is now a USB Flash icon. How do I get rid of the "portableApps.com" label, renaming it to "Local Disk C:" or "C:" and restore the C: drive icon to its original/default icon? I've done a search of all files, and a regedit. I tried renaming but when I try to delete the PortableApps.com label it renames itself to PortableApps.com, no matter what I try to rename it as.
