General Discussion

hi all, i was just wondering if it is possible to create the same network thing as ironkey has but on a much lower scale, i.e. having to use your usb flash drive to gain access to a website or data base, then being able to have admin flash, and urser flashes, i find what they have done very intresting, and would like to try and make a basic one for fun.

thanks all

Hi,

I recently installed a new Win7 professional SP1 PC. This PC is member of a Windows 2008 R2-Domain. I have some portable apps on a network-share which always worked on my old XP-machine. These are firefox, miranda and thunderbird.

I can start the apps alright but neighter of them seem to can connect. When I want to go to http://google.com with FF nothing happens. There is no error or something, the tab just stays blank.

Same with miranda and thunderbird. No connection, no error. This also applies to the local network (e.g. a local mailserver for thunderbird)

I just started making my own virtual machine using VM player and ubunto as my OS and i see lots of discussions debating how to run java portably etc and was wondering if you could use a virtual machine on any computer, with your external hardrive or usb to use any java application???

why hasn't anyone thought of this.

Its been nearly 3 weeks since the last blog posting so im just wondering whats going on??

of course if John could point us at those nifty preloaded flashdrives that would be cool also.

I saw many threads for How to make an application portable.
But no thread has clear picture. Please clear this. Is any readymade tool for making this or how to do in proper format. Please explain in more detail about the process.

Is this not where malware can hide?

Can we have a further option in right-click whereby it shows the file location of the portable application please?

Thank you

In 1992 the best PIM ever came out called EccoPro it lived and was developed until 1997 when Netmanage aquired it, released an update and then dropped it. It has all a PIM should have - it is a powerful outliner too. It is free to download if you google it. There is an installer for W7 and Vista

I installed it to my own W7 pc jumpdrive. As I need to use it on my "protected" work laptop I plugged the drive in and ran the exe file. It kept looking for about 4 dll's and I copied them across to the Ecco program folder one at a time until it worked - Everything works on it - good deal.

Now that Microsoft has bought Skype, does that mean soon it will no longer be able to be made portable legally?

That's what comes up everytime i try to install Google Chrome Portable, EVERYTIME!

Is there anyway to fix this? I think its because its a different installer than Firefox portable, is there anyway of making the chrome portable, so you download the full thing? instead of just downloading the installer?
