Hey all,

Just got a Kingmax Superstick 8gb (http://www.amazon.com/KingMax-Microsoft-Certified-Drive-Washer/dp/B001AM...) yesterday and install portable apps plus FF3, OpenOffice, Putty, 7zip, Gimp, FileZilla, KeePass, VLC, Task Coach and GNUCash on the drive and when running FF3 I am getting realllllly slow speeds (2x-3x slower than native firefox), so I have a few questions:

1) Does having more apps slow down PA even if Im just using one app at a time?

Can a portable desktop/desktop manager be made. If it can be made I have I picture of what it might look like.
How/Ware do I upload a picture so I can show it to you all.

Hi Guys,

I have tons of swf files. I know how to play them and/or convert them
I have all needed to play them on XP and all. That is not a problem...
... but I have to give those written to MP3-palyer or USB Stick
The "destination computer" have nothing and people there don't understand a thing about PC.
I explained to them how to use portable VLC and/or Mplayer
Problem is that VLC don't play swf and Mplayer plays them in "fastest motion possible"

I know many people would say defaults but as a gamer/tech I have come to realize... defaults suck...

Before (like when XP first came out...) I just let it format with defaults... since then however I have come to customize everything... even now I notice a performance gain from my WD Raptor's when I use 64k unit allocation for OS Drive/Game Drive/Storage drive...

So i guess my reason for this post... Whats the best FileSystem/Allocation Unit size?

I have the following as options...
FAT32 - 512b/1024b/2048b/4096b/8192b/16384b/32768b/65536b

Now that I'm back into the daily grind, I'd like to get some comments on a plan I've come up with to help get the app releases moving.

Hello, I just downloaded portableapps and put it on my flash drive. Whenever i open one of the apps the menu itself closes. I want to keep it open, is there any way to do this? Also, is there anything I can do that will make it faster?

I know this has been talked about before, but Notepad++ Is crashing, even with the current update. Anyone know why this is happening?

hello to everyone, because I am a newcomer in the area of portable and is a time that decided to create my portable, but what I still do not know, and wanted a help of you.

I wanted to know how to put such a picture of my name at the time that the laptop is open as is appearing in the portable portableapps.com here, now I am grateful for the help.

even more!

Putting an image of openness in portable software?

I am unsure exactly where this should be posted as there is no direct e-mail or forum section for the discussion of time travel, but as a side note to whoever has the ability to update the website the page for ClamWin Portable (https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable) states it was stolen from the year 20,008. I assume flux capacitors were involved.

Hi all.

Is it possible to have subfolders in the menu? Something like Office->Writer...

Thank you
Chris
