General Discussion

When I first started with PortableApps I installed APO Usb Autorun to launch portable apps automatically. Lately when I connect my drive Windows autorun comes up, it didn't before, and asks me what I want to do. I would like it to just dissapear. It gives me the option to "take no action" but the checkbox to make the computer do this every time is greyed out.

Why did it just start appearing now? What can I do to get rid of it?

Ya, I am sorry if this is answered somewhere, I did not look as hard as i could have. In the picture of the protable Apps menu there is an eject button in addition to a exit button. However, i do not have an eject on my version. I am running it on my iPod and i was wondering if it just did not work with those or if it was removed.

I have Vista on the company laptop
Every time I run a portable app it asks for confirmation that I trust the app and have run it before. Is there any way to register the apps on my pendrive so that Vista will just run them without this message ?

I've noticed that most of the posts in the Request Apps forum essentially say, "Can you make application name portable?" How about a group of people look at these threads and post the relevant information (e.g.: link, license, etc.) for those people who don't bother to read the "READ ME FIRST" post?

I have a desktop with Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (Feisty) and a laptop with Windows XP. I installed portable apps through my Windows laptop and it works great in XP. Then I plugged the USB drive into my Linux PC. I have Wine installed and ran the portable apps launcher, and it just worked. Every app on my USB drive just works great using Wine in Linux. Good going (if that was intentional)!

Problem:
1. Don't know where to place the following problem

2. Some time ago John T Haller published a prerelease of ScitePortable 1.70 (meanwhile the thread for this app is closed in beta testing).
Since 31th of march version 1.73 is available. So I insert all the new sources of 1.73 into my scite folders. I also add a small version hint on the splash-screen and run the nsi created by John. Everything looks nice and a new paf-file was created after a few seconds.

Question:

Hey dudes and/or ladies,
I like context menus. I like being able to right-click any file and have an option, right there, to "Open in Notepad++". Now, I know menus are "done up" in the registry, but I think for those particular settings to become active one must re-login, or restart the machine. That wouldn't seem to work for a portable app.

I also like file associations. For example, I have bits of .NEO files scattered about. I utterly abhor using any program's File>Open>Browse dialog.

Oh, also I have a couple custom context commands, like "Send to parent".

When using portable apps, I cannot launch it from my school computers. I can understand that running a ".exe" might be blocked and can appreciate why. However, i would like to know if there is any method around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi folks,

I want to add something useful to the following thread:

"Portable Adobe Photoshop CS2 v9.0 (26 MB) Project"

Unfortunately there is nothing I can click on to reply/add new post ...

Sorry, if that's not the best way to ask for help.
Maybe someone can give me instructions and *afterwards* this topic can be removed by an admin/mod ?

Thanks in advance

Both my mobile USB drive (160G spinning disk) and portable USB stick (4G flash) are multiply partitioned FAT32. These partitions were created, and show up, and can be independently used and addressed, in Linux.
When the devices are inserted into a Windows XP machine then all partitions on the drive show up in Explorer, and all as Local Disks. However, the stick shows only one of its partitions in Explorer, and this time as a "Removable Disk". None of the others are visible to Windows XP.
