General Discussion

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.

Dear sir,
How to make all menu and program files are NON-erasable ?
If possible, it is non-erasable even by FORMAT. Possible ?

Thx

I'm trying to create a portable web server by using a compiled autoit script, but I have to use absolute paths to get the thing to run properly from the portable apps menu. It worked fine when I ran it in explorer from inside the drive without absolute paths or drive letter, but not in portable apps. What's the deal?

Hi all,

The MSI file format has the advantage of being a standardized format for containing all the information associated with installing applications.

If an MSI file only contains instructions to copy files to an install directory, it is portable. If it contains instructions to e.g. change the registry, it's not. Other rules apply too, of course.

Hi everyone

I am having trouble with the IPAM - it will not open and I get an error message when I click on it. The individual programs work well (I am happy with what I have seen so far) when I open them from their individual icons in the various folders but I would like to use the main menu.

Can anyone help?

Has anyone found a PIM that will sync with Yahoo. I have been using essential PIM currently, tried sunfire and thunderbird. But what I am looking for is a PIM (cal, address, todo) that will keep my yahoo up-to-date. there are several computers that I use and add appointments etc that has no internet connection. I would like to view and make appointments then return to computer with internet and sync to yahoo. Any suggestions

I recently installed the portableapps suite and a few extra applications on my 1 Gb Sandisk USB drive. Works like a charm. However, the menu suffers from graphical glitches on my install, shown in the link below:

Main problems are the black areas and the fact that the "close" button is not where it's supposed to be (the Documents/Music/Movie/... menu also suffer from glitches: the "currently marked" is far to large).

I now officially own a PortableApps.com Flash Drive! Thanks John

I just came across this article via this Slashdot article and thought I'd post it for discussion here. My apologies if it's already been linked to.
