General Discussion

The July issue of PCWorld has a test of three different flash drives. The main purpose of the test is to see how much they can improve the performance of Vista by using readyboost. They find that readyboost doesn't make much difference.

They also tested the three drives for file transfer speed to read and write a large file. They tested a Lexar, Kingston and Ritek flash drives and found the Lexar to be by far the fastest.

No I am not requesting this and I did search. For those of you that don't know what stickies is read about it at http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk. I use stickies on a daily basis off of my flash drive. However I have noticed a through a couple of programs, like P.A.M. and Pstart, stickies does not (for lack of a better way of saying) read into it's directory. If I launch it manually it works great. Finds the .ini file and continues to read and write from its directory. But when I use P.A.M and other to run it, it doesn't pick up those files. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

Okay John, First of all we all love theses forums and all of your dedicated work to this sight. I have noticed lately that there are many, many different take-offs of your menu, and huge amounts of themes. The only problem is that they are scattered over the Off Topic, General Discussion, and Beta Testing Forums. I don't mean to sound winy, but it would be nice if there was a forum specifically for theses things. It would definitely reduce the number of people asking specifically for menus that do this and/or that.

is it cause there is one app I really, really want portable but needs an ocx.dll

My work system blocks non- approved .exe files from running. I cannot use my u3 drive therefore. Does port apps boot the same way?

Where is the official website, Google has not been my friend and I tried downloading it from portablefreeware.com but it said the download quota was exceeded since Yesterday.

Security feature: you can enable "Off The Record" encryption used by Adium and many other chat tools. The whole process takes less than 10 mins.

1. Go to the OTR Website www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/

2. Scroll down the page and download "installer for the plugin for gaim 2 beta 5."

3. Use Universal Extractor (http://portablefreeware.com/?id=641) to open the downloaded executable without going through the install process.

4. From the extracted folder, delete "[NSIS].nsi" and "$PLUGINSDIR" and move all other files to your GAIM install directory under \App\Gaim\plugins.

Hi

Just wanted to let you know that Softpedia's link doesn't work on Contact Us page.
Here is the woking link.

Has anyone attempted to integrate PortableApps with WinPE? I do create my customized boot WinPE cds for my company's techs, (desktop-server) support. Most of the time I create my own .HTA applets (.HTM applications in case you did not know) and I embed vbscripts in them for functionality (all this works for us).

Is repacking of Johns PortableApps allowed???
Cause this guy does it. Its in german and other Apps too, but I thought I mention it.
