I had an old version of PA. Working. Downloaded new version 10. Installed.
I have no clue whether the new replaced the old or whether 2 can run at same time.

I have 2 PA windows open, HELP says version 1.6 for both. Is PA built to run in stereo mode? Where then is "10" ?

Also the AppProgram menu is higher than the available screen space. (Only 1 line in the Win7 Taskbar. The lowest part is unreadable. )

I explain: when I restart the system, I have to exit manually these programs in order for the next boot they start properly. Can you fix it that I don't have to quit them manually at restart and they can start the next time I boot up? I hope you can understand the situation.

Hello!

I have Winamp install on my system. I download the Winamp portable from here: https://portableapps.com/node/24503 . I open the portable Winamp and i close it. After that I open normal Winamp which was installed already on my system and it opened like first time. I mean it ask questions the same when I had open it first time on my system.

I try it 3 times. I always face the same problem.

The portable apps of this site changes the settings of default installed applications?

Thank you!

Hi everybody i'm sure there might have been a post about this somewhere but the search provided no results , anyway what i am trying to accomplish is to get my usb drive to behave like a u3 drive where upon insertion it pulls up the start.exe , now i didn't have the problem until after i installed a ton of apps on it then it wouldn't auto launch the start.exe i tried & tried & tried to recreate the autorun.inf here is what i currently have tried using this http://www.archidune.com/usb_intro , now i currently have no par

Generally you can't pin a portable app to the taskbar since the AppID of the launcher is different from the actual app executable, therefore the windows taskbar can not group them into one place.

I found a solution to this problem here:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/985014-guide-pin-programs-with-custom-...

Here is an easier version (I think):
1) Download mkshortcut from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?gzkgthmjhyv
or from the guide above

2) Extract the zip file; you will only need the mkshortcut.exe file inside the release folder.

For example mp3tag.Can that be added to the portable apps platform with the rest of the other portable apps? https://portableapps.com/node/18890

Or can I add any portable app to the platform suite? I prefer it to liberkey but I want to import some apps from liberkey to the portableapps platform that aren't available in the directory.

Thanks

Has any one run Portable Apps from a CD Rom? I have an old laptop that I need to scan using Clamwin and there is no network port or USB driver installed and my client can not modify the laptop but needs to make sure it is clean. It does have a CD that works properly/

Hello,
When I boot my computer and hit the F9 key to select a boot option, I can't boot to my USB drive. I have other USB drive I can boot too. Is there something I can download onto my USB drive to boot to it.

Thanks,
John

As a happy newcomer to PortableApps I wonder whether full real-time protection is ensured by the resident Antivirus + Anti-Malware + Firewall software on the host PC (the one into which the USB Flash drive is connected) assuming of course those are up to date and work properly. If so, I would promptly conclude they are useless on a Flash drive.

Thank you for any confirmation.

Hello, instead of running portable apps from a removable drive, I am using them from the local disk. When I tried to copy over to another computer, I ran into problems. Specifically, Thunderbird portable didn't work as expected, most of the mail folders showed without any content in them. I am wondering whether it is required that a portable app be always stored in the same physical device.
Thank you
