argh! Bitlocker/Win7 and the desktop/usb

So my office now has bitlocker on all laptops, and remote drives that you may plug in, and it encrypts the usb key so it is read only unless you decrypt it. I am not super familiar with bitlocker, but what happens if I take my usb portable apps and put it on the harddrive, would it still be encrypted? Would it ask for the password?
I'll be checking with my IT folks, but I figure some folks may be interested or know of similar situations.
Also, IT says that I have to use Win7 pc's now, not Macs as bitlocker doesn't work with them, and there is a buggy add-on for the winXPs. Sad

Portableapps not working after install...DOS prompt comes up then disappears

I've installed portableapps on one of my flash drives and works beautifully but today I tried to install it on my 8gig flash drive (I'm using the lite install BTW) and it opens up after the install is done but once I eject the flash drive and reinsert it into my pc I am unable to open it. A DOS prompt comes up then disappears. I don't know why it's doing that. I double clicked the autorun settings and it's empty and the icon does not work. Any ideas what is happening? My flash drive is FAT32 formatted and it's 8gigs. Any help would be appreciated.

Lost Opera profile folder

Hello there!

It's not really a bug, but serve as example:
Yes, it's a bug.

When you download a program and you choose the option "open" instead of "save", the program will be downloaded and opened as it should be. But if you close Opera while the program is running, Opera Portable will not move your profile folder to "data", and your profile will be deleted.

I don't know if I was clear, my english is not good. Blum

Desktop Pictures

Submitted by bassrocks on November 12, 2010 - 10:11am

I was exploring a few weeks ago and I found coding that you could take your desktop picture with you, in that when you started the suite, it loaded your desktop picture and then removed it when you were done. I can't seem to find it anymore. Help?
