First excuse my bad english, I'm a schoolboy from germany.

I have found a way to make firefox 2.0R3 to the oficial firefox 2.0 without having any problems!!

Download the real Firefox 2.0 Application from the official Firefox site:

1. Download

2. Install the Downloaded copy of Firefox 2.0!

3. Copy all the files of the folder "/Programs/Mozilla Firefox"!!

4. Select the folder within the portable version of Firefox an past the copied files in the folder "/App/firefox"

5. Now you have got an up-to-date version of firefox 2.0 Portable

I don't know if this has been allready mentioned, and I don't want to be a "know-it-all", but in my opinion, if my method is working, you shouldn't waste your time in develope a better version! Take this and concnetrate on other aps!

hi.
let me introduce to you rainlendar - a lightweight calendar application, and you get the portable installation right from its homepage rainlendar.net

^^^pretty cool app to redirect system folders

What apps do you run via Lapwing? I'd love to see a comprehensive list of applications that are known to work via Lapwing.

I know everyone here has a plethora of apps that were made portable, but there are loads of programs that weren't designed to be run off a flash drive that can and do. It'd be nice to get a list of such programs going, i know of a few, but definitly not all of them.

The one that I can't live without:
Bloodshed Dev C++ 5.0b - C++ IDE

........... I want to lern NSIS, how can you learn it? Along with that I need to learn BASIC and HTML coding...... But NSIS most of all.

When I'm in the forums i see lots of signatures.
How do I make one?

Is it possible to create an NSIS executable without compression? I ask because it's quite likely that UPX can make a smaller file with an uncompressed executable.

If you have a problem unmounting your device, try this:

Get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com
Run it.
On the main menu, Find -> Find Handle or DLL

If you have an external HD, search for \Device\KsecDD\
For a thumbdrive, \Device\

For ExHDs, \Device\KsecDD\ should give you every process that is using it. Note that not every process needs to be killed (and DO NOT kill rundll32), especially if you are using a school/work computer (certain programs acknowledge the device, but aren't using it). Common processes that lock your device (both thumbdrives and ExHDs) include explorer.exe (restart it), jusched.exe, and ctfmon.exe.

Janel is a Java native executable and launcher for Windows. Launch your Java application just like other Windows executables. Choose console or non-console application, the location of the JVM, and other properties. The process name is same as .exe name.

Maybe we can let java applications running on Portable devices without JRE installed on the host PC.
