This question is re: account login. Does anyone know how to change the username on my account. Is is possible? I see how to change my email address and password, but not user name. Thanks!

Is it possible to make Mobile Partner portable version.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum but have been using PortableApps.com since 2007/2008 (something like that, I think). So my first question is when are the developers going to make themes for the menu and/or icons official? I mean like making a section full of themes in one of the links at the top. IMHO, I think that it would make the program much more appealing and customizable. Sorry if someone else posted something similar, it's good to make sure. BTW, I've already searched for "official themes" in the search box and none of the entries were similar to mine.

I have been downloading the apps from this site and converting them to work with my U3 device and will be posting all the u3p i have made here to share with everyone if you don't like it tuff I think its great to be able to use these apps with my U3 flash drive and thought others could use them too well will be posting soon.

NOTE: I will not be posting anything just enjoying the workings of this site and its comrades.

Quick Question. I use Iron and use the address bar for all my searching (instead of going to a search engine first).

Chrome allows you to add sites to the search engine list and select a default. (for example, I have Walmart, amazon, and imdb all set as searchable, by beginning to type and then hit "tab".

Can I add start.portableapps.com to this list? Anyone have any insight?

I was just wondering, is it possible for our next portable apps menu (or an update) to create an option to password protect the portable-apps folder and the documents folder? I was just thinking that would be a cool thing to do.

I was trying to portabilize the game Age of Empires II (this topic) and succeeded. But now the problem is that Windows 7 always add these games into the "Games folder" of host system, and it ends up being a big hassle because we do not want our portable games to appear in the "Games folder" of someone elses computer.
Is there any way to prevent the windows "detect" the game and add it in the folder?

here some download app i download and i got the same ERROR to open it:

Frets on Fire

Hello,

I am new here, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I am trying to create a flash drive that will automatically open and display a presentation or video when inserted into a computer, whether it is Microsoft, Apple, or Linux.

I am not a marketing spammer. I am not selling anything. I am a disabled man, turning 45 next month, and I have some wisdom that I would like to share with my [younger] friends. I hope you can help me.

Basically, this user describes what I am trying to do (this was posted in a forum on the 'net):

I have read from one of the old forums here about a code block portable development, but i've viewed already all of the apps here(or my eyes just did closed on that page), aint portapps gonna release any?
Then, im hoping for a release of a "how to make apps port" using launcher generator and NSIS. I've read the topics on the forum and have seen the documentations. But my head really is slow. Studying now for c++ but nsis is really new. I know there's a lot of discussions re this topic but for a slow like me, i crave for a much more fluid "how to". Thx.
