How to change path for "Music" "Movies"...?

Submitted by Mikeyy on October 27, 2007 - 10:11am

I would like to change path for Music, Movies and Pictures buttons in PA menu since I don't want those directories to be in root menu. I usually keep them in Download directory in which I store all that I carry arround.

Is there a way to change paths for those buttons so they point to /download/music for example?

Thank you.

VirusScan Alert!

Submitted by lwbbs on October 26, 2007 - 11:15pm

Today, McAfee VirusScan reported virus alert at the portable apps (including ThunderbirdPortable and FirefoxPortable). I download one new package from
http://portableapps.com and http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/. The package
from mozilla works fine. But VirusScan reports virus in the one from portableapps.

Please double check the portableapps application. Thanks.

The following are the virus information:

Global proxy settings

Submitted by Wofl on October 26, 2007 - 6:34pm

Hey guys, really love all this, but is there a way to set a global proxy profile (or just global networking profiles in general)? i really dont like having to change these for every single application.
i have seen some suggest running a local proxy that then reroutes, but that seems a bit overdone...

Mozilla Prism and Webrunner

Just ran across these today. They were linked from digg.com and slashdot.org.
Looks like these packaged apps let you run the typically web-based app locally and use data from the web or run completely off-line.
What does everyone think about the usefulness of running web-based apps this way? And will there be a need to make them portable on a USB drive?

Hi

I know this has been asked quite alot(I did a search first) and read most of search results.

I am hoping maybe that since some of those topics where old and long that maybe someone has found something new.

For the last few days I been searching for an encryption program but could not find any good ones.
