General Discussion

I am using portable Apps on an encrypted flash drive. I loaded the apps on an XP desktop machine, then put the drive into a Win2k machine and the Portable Apps Menu stopped working. I can launch the .exe files by double clicking their icon, directly, but that is not how it is supposed to go. Also, I wanted to show a friend who has an IBM Thinkpad and the Menu didn't work and when I opened the directory that contains the applications, the icons didn't display. Can anyone help me?

Has anyone tried both of these encryption programs? I've been using TrueCrypt for a while and it works well if you have admin privileges. I've got hold off DriveCrypt which seems to do similar on-the-fly encryption for USB drives. Has anyone used it yet? Does it need admin privileges?

I was wondering if anybody knew when the game apps are comming because im sick of Suduko and yea....

Helo! When open FireFox from PortableApps my antivirus (mks 2005) showing window: file: C:\ (... )\Seba\USTAWI~1\Temp\nsq148.tmp\System.dll is virus - Trojan.Downloader.Agent.bcw. Why? Others app too.

What happened to the two links under "Forum" - "active discussions" and "my discussions" (or so)?

I really need these to stay uptodate in this forum ... browsing through the different forums is NOT an option, specially not with my lame analog connection.

Pls put them back - or an alternative like "view posts since your last visit" like it is in many other boards.

Cheers

Stealthsurfer.biz appears to be reselling Firefox and Thunderbird Portable (along with some other security software). I'm assuming when you buy their flash drive they give you more than just the installer, which would make this illegal.

Hi,

i want to use an autorun.inf file on my usb to go to a specific folder on doubleclick on the drive

i got this:

shell=pam
shell\pam\command=folder/StartPortableApps
shell\pam=Start PortableApps


but now it starts the program StartPortableApps.exe

i just want to go to /folder/ do the files in the root are not shown

how to do this??

ive only been using portable aps for about a month and think there fantastic, i was intrigued by the requests for a portable linux distro, i recently found a website

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

that has a few linux distros on it that all work from a usb stick.
take a look if your interested.

ps. i did look for a topic like this one but couldn't find one so my appologies if its been on before

I'm not an expert on open source licenses, however it seems that it is possible under the GPL and MPL to distribute software commercially. There are lots of online stores selling various linux distros.

Is it possible to sell a usb drive with the portableapps suite pre-installed on it.

If so is any body doing this ?

I am in high school and I have to do a Graduation Project.

I have chosen Open-Source Software...

And for my product I have chosen to find a way to improve on Firefox Portable...
I do not have any coding experience but I really want to do this... is there anybody out there who can help get started... like what kind of coding language I should learn and stuff like that if anybody is willing to help me that would totally awesome...
