portable mIRC

I know we can run mIRC from any portable device just copying the mIRC folder into the device, and the new version of mIRC can be run with the option -portable so it will not use the Windows registry, but...

My question is, How can I run "mIRC.exe -portable" from PortableAppsMenu in just one click? or How can I create a shortcut with the option -portable to run it from PAM?

Thanks in advance.-

Documents vs My Documents folders

Submitted by wcameron on March 24, 2007 - 6:25pm

While Portable Aps creates a Documents folder, some installations like the Portable Skye installation looks for (and creates on installation) a My Documents folder. Do I need to keep the My Documents? will other software look for this by default? It seems like Portable Aps is hard wired to use the Documents folder when you use the control menu.

Removing file names

Submitted by wundrbee on March 23, 2007 - 5:21pm

Is there a way to remove the filename from the list without removing the files? I have added some portable apps not supported by portableapps.com and a couple of them have more than one executable. I'd like to have just the program executable show up in the program list, but not the others.

Possibility to Autorun PortableAppsMenu

Submitted by ranova on March 23, 2007 - 3:01pm

I discovered this site:
http://www.mcgrewsecurity.com/research/hackingU3/
which was tested on the sandisk u3
When you uninstall u3 and use the reinstall program, it grabs an ISO file and "burns" it as another partition so windows recognizes it as a CDROM.
This is the .iso it downloads:
http://u3.sandisk.com/download/apps/lpinstaller/isofiles/cruzer-autorun.iso

You can download that iso and use isobuster and extract the files, and this is what you get:
AUTORUN.INF
LAUNCHU3.EXE
LAUNCHPAD.ZIP

Thanks you are such a life saver

I'm an online college student and currently my laptop is in the repair shop. Processor is being replaced.

I love using Firefox and have been missing it. I heard of the Portable version and tried and I'm hooked. I have even downloaded some other programs to make my online learning more efficient till I get my laptop back.

I just wanted to say Thank You.

Even when I get my laptop back, I'm keep this portable apps just in case I even need them.
