Hello @all
while using portableThunderbird v.3.1.2 and due to some SMTP problems I intended to switch back to an elder version i.e. latest 2.x.
Is there a locations where is a history available for download?

Hey,

Are people aware of USB Supercharger? Are people using it?

I saw it mentioned in the Fastest USB Format thread. I'm surprised it hasn't been talked about since.

We are planning to do e-exams on places where there are computers but we do not know for sure if there are LANs in the exam rooms
One way is to have the invigilator bring exam SW on a usb, one for each student/PC, let the student run the exam and take back the usb, now with the student answers as well.
My questions are:
- Is it possible to load the usb with an exam SW application and an answer file to be filled in by the student?

Read a couple days ago that Sun had been bought out by Oracle and that they will soon be charging 79 bucks for Open Office so if you want the latest you might want to download it.

I'm running Windows 7 32-Bit on my new laptop and have problems launching most portable apps regardless if they come from here or are other portable apps.

If I do a standard startup they claim I don't have rights to use the registry. I have to right click and choose Run-As-Administrator.

The program does launch but shows noting. I have to kill the process in 'Task Manager' manually.

Everytime I use the autoupdate this shows up:

"PortableApps.com AppCompactor 2.0.1"

I've tried to go through with the update several times, i.e. keeping the box checked and have it download and install, but it still shows up every time I "Check For Updates".

I've uninstalled AppCompactor, and made sure the folder was deleted from the "PortableApps" folder on my drive, yet it still shows up when checking for updates.

I've even unplugged the drive after uninstalling AppCompactor and next time I plug my drive in and check for updates...

"PortableApps.com AppCompactor 2.0.1"

A special build of OpenOffice, called OpenOffice4kids, is now available. It's a simplified version of OpenOffice, with more accessible icons, etc., designed to help kids getting involved in OpenOffice.

I downloaded the app, and installed it into a folder with my other portable apps. The OO4Kids folder contains a single executable, from which the components are opened.
