Hello,

Recently my work computer underwent a new Image Boot Load. The copy of XP is bare essentials!

RIGHT Button Mouse click and window shortcut keys are disabled.
Internet Options disabled
Control Panel and My computer disabled
etc..

Only thing you can really do is access the pre installed programs and the Network Drive and navigate and view the network map set up.

Also, I can log into router as a guest...

The internet works for just about every website...and I know if that's the case there must be a way to ACCESS my USB thumb drive?!?!?

Hi,

sorry if this was already posted some time ago - didn't find something with Google or the search function (or I'm to dumb to use it).

I would like to make TotalCommander (and some other non free applications - but I will use only TotalCommander in this post as example) portable so I could use it every where I go (yeah I have a license).

why when i am done encrypting a drive the i unmont it and go to plug it back in it ask me to format the drive please help

hi

where do I find some good examples and guides. To show me how a portable app is made.

best regards and thanks Flemming

I mistakenly made a booboo on a file I should never have opened. I'm questioning the stability of this install as getting weird opened programs (eg. winrar has 4 processes -- and several weird errors after opening archives).

Hi

I just wanted to know that whether portable apps can be used on
flash card such as microSD and others. Using this flash card along with multi card reader in a computer can portable apps work same as on a pen drive.

thanks

The homepage news says that the menu beta is beta 1, and the post says that the PA updater was left out of Beta 1 (which is correct) and will be in beta 2. The forum beta release is Beta 3, and states that the updater will be in beta 4.

Edit: Removed the MyDefrag/JKDefrag point. (I haven't been on the forums in quite a while, so I forgot to search)

There seems to be a problem with posting to the forums and the new spam filtering. John has been informed, please be patient if you are having problems getting your posts through.

Hello,

PortableApps is just flatout an amazing tool! One problem I'm having is getting the new icons to show up after I've installed new apps, such as GIMP, Putty, etc. I click on refresh in the settings menu, and nothing happens. Using this on a Win7 64-bit machine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

If I browse manually to the apps, they run perfectly fine.

Thanks in advance!!

I like to keep my RSS feeds as pulldown lists on my Firefox bookmark toolbar just to keep track of sites casually. It's not an emergency if I miss anything so that's fine, but for some reason the PortableApps.com RSS feed does not update automatically. It only updates when I tell it to with a right-click Reload Live Bookmark.

Normally this might go into the Firefox forum except that every other feed works fine. Do others find they have problems with the PortableApps.com RSS feed specifically? Or is this something I really should put in the FF forum?

Thanks!
