General Discussion

I just had an idea.

I think that PortableApps.com could/should offer paid support. This would entice more companies to use the software and would increase revenue for John.
I would volunteer to be part of the support team if this were to happen, as it would help the development of the site (and John would have more time to read his emails ).

Tell me what you think.

I was wondering if it is possible to have on this website a new feature. When one clicks on the "New" link in the posts count column, could it got to the first new post, or at least the top of the page of the last post? That way, one doesn't have to scroll through muleiple pages to get to the new content.

Last night FirefoxPortable and GaimPortbale worked as good as they did the last 4 months...
But this morning neither of them wants to start: there is no welcome screen or picture but the windows error message that the program had to be closed.
The weird thing is that suddenly both programs don't work. I tried to use ThunderbirdPortable which is on the same FlashDrive but it doesn't work either. I tried to copy the FirefoxPortable folder to my HardDrive and start it there but that didn't work either.
Anybody has an idea where the error might be?

I did a movie of using camstudio and vlc from the pen drive I hope this is of use to guys.

Just like to give everyone a heads up that you might want to upgrade to Thunderbird 2.0 manually, as you probably won't get an auto-update alert.

Anyone aware of such a program? Basically a program that performs a similar role to hfnetchk/microsoft baseline scanner?

Thanks

Hey, i just bought a u3 drive, I decided to go with portableapps instead. I look up how to get rid of u3 system but keep the autorun system. so i replace the u3 iso with my custom one, and it worked. but when i plug it in, it reads the autorun then it brings up a "no disk" error. but if i hit continue it brings up my appmenu anyway. any ideas?.

I just made my Partition Magic 8.0 portable. However, whenever used in conjunction with the PortableApp's menu, the entire directory of files shows up in the list of applications. Is there a loader program I can use to link to PMagic.exe in a subfolder? This is what I am thinking:

Thumb:\PortableApps\PartitionMagicPortable\App\PMagic.exe
Thumb:\PortableApps\PartitionMagicPortable\LOADER.exe (points to PMagic.exe so all the files aren't shown in the PortableApps Menu)

This may sound stupid or not even possible but, is there a way to make your portable apps start automatically without the autrun menu. Our school on some of the computers has blocked that autorun startup menu. I have to take a long and complicated way around to get to my files. Is there a way to bypass autorun and still startup.

thanks in advance

Hi guys, great forum you got here! I have a quick question. I am wanting to set up a flash drive to run apps. The problem I am finding is when I install portable apps to the drive it works fine. If I take it to another computer, Windows may assign it a different drive letter then the apps dont work because the path is wrong. I want to set up my drive to run much like a normal desktop setting. I have two options the way I see it and was wanting feedback from you all on the subject.
