I'm not sure if anyone else has done this but here goes.

I travel a lot and like the idea of a USB key to give me some feeling of security when I'm working on a public computer. I've used PortableApps for the last few the years to work on foreign computers. I recently switched to PCLinuxOS (6 months now) and that has become my OS of choice. Using Linux requires booting the device with the USB key in it but some computers don't allow that.

Network Drive Warning

Submitted by ivar on August 17, 2007 - 11:14am

My home network has a NAS device (Buffalo Link Station). When I install portable apps to this network share, everything works, except that when running any programm, including the menu, Windows XP always complains and tells me that "The publisher could not be verified" and asks if I really want to run this program.

This extra step is just plain irritating. Is there any way to turn this off?
