Hey Everyone

I've Noticed ALOT That Everyone Has Been Waiting For Updates In Some Apps
Like Firefox It Went From 2.0.0.6 to 2.0.0.8
John Needs To See If Everything Is Being Portablized Before He Releases Them.

I'm Using Examples To Support My Position Above.

I Like What "Have Some Patience" Said In The Fallowing Fourm: https://portableapps.com/node/9602

I've done some searching, and as usual I've found bits and snatches on this subject, but in most other places it has been discussion of why autorun doesn't work.

What I'd like to see is a discussion of how to enable novice users to be able to launch PA comfortably on machines that don't have autorun enabled. For example, the "windows-start" key plus E opens "my computer" in explorer, a couple of clicks opens the PA drive and starts PA. That's what I'd do, but that's probably not something that newcomers would find comfortable ... or is it?

      OpenOffice.org Portable (formerly Portable OpenOffice.org) 
is the complete OpenOffice.org office suite — including a word processor,
spreadsheet, presentation tool, drawing package and database — packaged 
as a portable app, so you can take all your documents and everything you 
need to work with them wherever you go.

Doe anybody know if there is a "master" download or perhaps a method to get all these great products on CD?

I use my USB portable apps on two computers. One works fine. On the other, a widescreen (17") the menu doesn't line up. For example, there is a about 1 and a half inch black rim on the right and bottom sides of the menu. In addition, the bottom item, use of disk space, does not line up with the place in the menu where they belong and the "x" button doesn't work to shut down the menus. Does anyone else have this problem? Know how to fix it?

how can i create my own portable programs from my own P.C purchased programs?

I'm aware that my problem is only loosely connected with PortableApps but since the germ of the idea started here, I'm hoping that at least I can be pointed to a forum somewhere that might help me with an assembly language program.

It started with wanting to launch a specific batch program from the PortableApps Menu. I found a solution for that, several actually.

John I know we have the cool little bar now but wouldn't it be neat if you could put it in Firefox. Have you ever noticed you go to some sights like wikipedia and you click the drop down menu it says add "blah". Think we could have one for portable apps??

Pardon for adding another thread about it, but I was wondering if there's any word on Shareaza being made a portable app?

I know there's an unofficial version (more of a launcher) on the forums, but it requires extra downloads, some assembly & other stuff to make it "Portable Apps Ready".

Just wondering if there's any "Official Beta" available.

Are there any games compatible with PortableApps out there besides the poker and sudoku?
