sPortable (SKYPE) really portable?

Submitted by heinz57g on August 18, 2018 - 5:30am

as installed on my stick initially, it works fine after putting in my account details, and remembers them at each login.

if i move the stick to another computer (point: portable!), it does not: remembers account name, but not the password.

question: where does sPortable store the password, and why is this not moved along? any workaround?

USB Drive no longer working properly

Submitted by MENINBLK on August 15, 2018 - 9:09am

Hello,

I purchased a 32GB USB Drive from the Portableapps.com website about 5 years ago.
The USB Drive is beginning to fail. It corrupts files and photos even after a full re-format using SD Formatter V4.0.

Your website still says that these USB products have a LIFETIME WARRANTY.
Where can I submit a claim for a replacement USB Drive made the same as mine with the silkscreening on it ?

Thank you,

Peter...

CleanTemp problem

Submitted by hypersonic on August 6, 2018 - 11:08pm

I have CleanTemp=true for an app I made and cleans up well until I click a link from withing the app that takes me to a web page, the link forces the portable to close then the folder in temp stays behind. If I launch a second time it cleans up the temp folder. The force close cleans up well except temp any fix to clean temp without having to launch twice? I could just avoid clicking any links but would like to know if their is a solution.

Document Reader on USB

Complete Newbie. Signed up 5 minutes ago.

I will have a .doc or .pdf or something (I'll make it whatever it needs to be) that contains text and pics that must look and act identically on hundreds of USB thumbdrives. The program MUST reside on the thumbdrive and open this document with a single or double click. The user's PC or laptop can not be part of the equation but for the place the thumbdrive is inserted
Possible?
Ideas?
Can someone help?
