Want to launch RocketDock automatically after inserting USB drive

Submitted by Henry Navin on June 3, 2012 - 10:50am

I want to launch RocketDock automatically after I insert my USB drive.

I have an autorun.inf file which I use to designate an icon for my drive. Although I have tried using OPEN and ACTION to list RocketDock in the Autoplay menu, the menu remains unchanged.

Portable Startup Utility will launch RocketDock, but I still have to launch Portable Startup Utility.

There must be some way to accomplish this simple result, but what is it?

Evernote progress?

Submitted by burnr on May 30, 2012 - 11:13am

I have read all of the past threads concerning Evernote portable. I don't see anything recent though (that's a bad sign).

Just wondering and hoping, has there been any progress with EN to allow PA.c to develop a portable version in PA format?

I don't read anything hopeful in the EN forums about them releasing a portable version.

I just wanted to give a hello since I just signed up here for some GiMP Portable help and say thanks.

I work for a small office and among my tasks are photo shooting, graphic design and editing, and basically anything they ask me to do.. burn this, print that, scan this, order this, etc.

can portable apps co-exist with other apps on my usb stick?

Submitted by electroken on May 24, 2012 - 2:31pm

1. I do not know if when I get the programs all downloaded and want to copy the folder over to my usb drive, will it format it first? Will a simple copy of the folder work? There does not seem to be any kind of beginner section where all these things are answered.

2.I have anther portable program app called [name of illegal software removed]. Can that app be on the usb drive and have this set of programs also on the same drive or will one or the other of them wipe out the other?
