General Discussion

I've been looking but can't seem to find a good, simple password utility to lock a folder on my USB drive. Is there any freeware app that is simple and effective?

thanks

Hi all.....
This stumble couldn't have come in a better time since I'm leaving for the next 2 months and want to keep working on the road.
I heard about a special USB drive by sandisk that you can install software on and use it anywhere. Is this what this application is about?
Can I install any software I want on it and use it elsewhere? or is it specific software that I saw published on the right side of the main page?

Thanks

When I connect USB device to my computer apps menu freezes. I can start applications but I can not disconnect with button in menu. This happens only on my computer. So I am sure that is something wrong on my computer. I think that is something in registry but where.

I have been reading the forums a lot on how to get Skype working in portable apps, and actually had a U3 USB drive for about two weeks. (Bought it at OfficeMax and returned it two weeks later because I didn't like it. No problems.) And I see that Skype has a U3 application. So my question is, could a wrapper or launcher be written to allow U3 applications to work in portableapps.com. U3 claims to be a standard, so I don't think there is any copy infringments,

I'm wondering what makes something to work on a Flash Drive or etc and not on a CDRW?

I know most programs do indeed work ,but some do not work, such as OpenOffice

I am sorry if this has already been posted, but I have read many different answers on how to do this, and I want a specific, clear answer.

I was wondering if there is any way that I can get the PortableApps Menu to start automatically when I plug in my USB Flash Drive, like the U3 platform does. When I installed the Menu, the file autostart.inf changed my drive name to PORTABLEAPPS (G:), so I deleted it. I do not know if that stopped it from running, but is there any other way to have it AutoStart?

I need a special programm. Let`s imagine... I start a programm, I call it "lookworkstation", all programms will run anyway, "lookworkstion" will remain in fullscreen until I type the correct password. That`s all.

Can you suggest me a portable programm to do that?

I have the standard autorun.inf:

[Autorun]
Open=PortableApps\PStart\Pstart.exe
Action=Open PStart
Icon=PortableApps\PStart\Pstart.exe, 0
Title=PStart

However, I would like to add another program (a synch app to backup the drive when I am at home) to the autorun menu.

Is there a simple way to do this within the .inf? I've tried a few variations to no avail.
thanks, JH!

When I plug my Memorex u3 TravelDrive in to my computer, it goes to the G:/ Drive and is called PortableApps. The icon for this drive is also missing. I tried to rename the drive, but on My Computer and everywhere else I can access the drive, it says it is named "PortableApps (G:)". Is there any way that I can rename my TravelDrive and also replace the drive icon? Thank You.
