Simple explorer?

Anyone know of a simple Explorer replacement? When I say simple, I mean a Open dialog style one. For browsing files, I currently open Notepad++ and click File » Open to do it.

I'm planning to make a portable version of it, because it would so totally be better than using normal Explorer. If one doesn't exist, I might make one myself.

Portable voip?

Okay, I realize that both teamspeak and ventrilo are closed sourced and their license forbids their modifications... but is there anything LIKE them that can or already has been made portable?

Sourceforge hosting for portable launchers for non open source apps?

Submitted by Bensawsome on October 24, 2007 - 12:16pm

I was not sure whether to post this in off topic or or in General discussion feel free to move it though. but I thought since it is about portable apps...
Since I created a version of insanaquarium portable and I am planning to do several other non open source apps (and some open source apps) I was wondering if I could just host the launcher of the app and the source of the launcher and just give a link to download the actual app on sourceforge?
Thanks for any info,
Bensawsome

secured drives

Submitted by PilotBill on October 24, 2007 - 9:59am

Is this possible? I want to use a San Disk drive with hardware encryption and PStart. The idea is to have PStart in the unsecured section and upon starting PStart, have PStart “initiate” the login to the secured section. Also, any negatives in running either Thunderbird Portable or Firefox Portable in the secured section?
Thanks
Bill

Just an idea...

It would be great if someone could make a "practice app", that is an app that has already been made portable. It could include a text file with what registry entries it adds and how to make it portable with step by stp directions. It would really help those not-so-sure coders get started!
