General Discussion

Is there any way of installing PortableApps.com on an iPod Touch to use ? That is, rather than using the iPod as the host drive, actually using it as a host computer.

Sincere apologies if this post is deemed silly or indeed in the wrong forum.

Thanks

Well, I think this is a request and discussion. I have had a computer that has crashed and won't boot-up to the log on screen. I can't find a great back-up to restore it to its better state of condition. I have a Windows XP and this is waht I'm talking about. There should be a auto boot-up for portableapps so you don't have to have your computer fully loaded. So it can perform diagnostic actions. Don't you think? I think... no I know this would be a great accomplishment for someone that knows how to do it. I am not that advanced in my studying yet so.

Hi guys!
zdnet just sent me a download promo for a $40 program that "enables you to create a portable virtual desktop comprised of many of your favorite Windows applications"; and they referred to a blog of theirs that says in part:

Hi guys

i found this while trawelling the net 1 day + I am sure it will make some1 happy.
Theres a guy called LocoCobra that has a portable version of MS VPC for download-it requires the user to finish it - but the instructions are clear + easy to follow.

check out his other projects 2 -interresting stuff...

Copy his MS-VPC folder then get a proper copy of MSVPC installer
Simply install MS-VPC 2004/2007 onto ur PC - then copy some files to his MS-VPCfolder + un-install again.Then put it on a flashdisk + test on another PC (its that simple...)

Fellow Forum Members,
A clever fellow has written a great BartPE howto article that has been published in the Spring 2010, Vol 27, #1 issue of the 2600 Hackers Quaterly magazine. You can download the issue for free as a PDF from this website:

This BartPE howto article has pumped up my juices and now I have a strong desire to setup a portable version of Windows XP Pro that I can bootup on any PC from a USB stick and/or a CD. I want to run FireFox, Irfranview, Gimp and OpenOffice.

Wondered how many people had to make programs portable because of compatability issues?

Earlier this month, I took the plunge and upgraded my office desktop to a laptop -- had been putting it off as I knew the time involved in setting up a new computer, reloading programs, and etc...

Anyways, I went laptop this time around for the office instead of replacing with another desktop.

I was hestitant to go with 64bit version but could not find a 32bit version I was interested in.

Does a portable app currently exist for faxing files (such as a .odt from OO Writer) through an internal or external dial-up modem? Performed a search and didn't come up with anything obvious.

Is there some way to get all my portable apps to always restore settings after a crash, without having to confirm it in the dialogs? I crash alot

hello

Thanks

I've used the application named FolderMatch and like it but it is not a portable app and it cost $30 per copy...

I would like to find a Portable App that does the same thing.

I use it after massive copies... to check to see if everything copied OK.

Or to find which files are different in deep directory structures.

Anybody know of anything that will do this in a Portable App?

Thanks for any help.
