Yadabyte Shhh!!! Released

Submitted by MatYadabyte on May 8, 2006 - 4:47am

Hi Portable Appsters

We have just released a new portable App called Yadabyte Shhh!!! that is not only a great little (48k) open source portable app it also fills a niche that needs to be filled.

Yadabyte Shhh!!! is an occasional use, simple, portable and secure text based encryption app. It provides lifestyle encryption of text such as emails, credit card details or MSN messages.

It is by no means an alternative to PGP but for occasional use with trusted friends and family its pretty nifty.

Yadabyte Shhh!!! along with the other Yadabyte Portables can be downloaded from www.yadabyte.com

Need Help!

Is there any reason you can think of why the normal style sheets aren't working for me on this site?
They work in IE but not Firefox.
Installed Extensions:
Firebug (disabled)
Web Developer Extension
Customize Google

Thats all I can think of that would interfere.
I believe that something is interefering with the @import sections.

Will any PortableApps work on a CD?

Submitted by Corfy on May 7, 2006 - 2:23pm

I was just wondering if any Portable Apps work on a CD.

I have assembled a free and/or open-source software CD that I pass out to people with a large number of Windows applications, many of the same ones available at PortableApps.com. I thought it might be a neat idea to have a "Live" version of some of these programs available on the CD so people can test the programs without having to install them first.

Some of the programs probably wouldn't make much sense to run as a Portable App off a CD (ones that require lots of personal settings, like Gaim, Miranda or Thunderbird, along with a f

I found this cool little application to make PC-to-PC calls from my thumb drive. Unfortunately you have to have know the IP address of the computer you are calling, and the other party must have this application running on their end to to receive calls. It's pretty neat though because it's so small and it really does well with low bandwidth connections! Here is the download site http://www.vitez.it/picophone/

Remounting drive letters...

Submitted by Jacoby on May 3, 2006 - 11:35pm

Hey everyone.

Earlier I had some trouble with the fact I wanted my USB HDD Mounted at Secret on every PC I used (several). With some handy tips from the folks on this board and a little bit of research and some practice, I've made a simple batch file that does this for me, that I put into an autorun file. I would like to share this, as well as the other file used ( a link to it) which was shared with me.

My Solution:

With the ReMount utility from http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbstick_e.html...
(It's a bit down the page.)
Direct link: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/remount.zip
(not sure if the direct link is okay, if not I'll edit, just tell me.)
