The following URL shows a screenshot of Windows 7 with the shortcut key to bring up Portable Apps in use for connecting to a projector.

I know Windows 7 is a while away from release, but IMO the sooner you know about something the better. It might be a good idea to allow disabling the shortcut key in future versions of Portable Apps, ready for when Windows 7 is released. Configuring it to an alternative combination would be even better.

Getting ready to start doing the "ride the bus" commute again, and this time planning to take the laptop with. I was thinking my 8GB SD Card would have a lower profile (not stick out as much) as my USB stick. But what would the speed be like? Should I assume similar or... ?

I had an idea to use the apps from PortableApps.com with with Live Mesh and it works great! Install a portable application once and run it from any computer in your Mesh. I created a screencast with more details:

Good times!

I link to my portable apps on my desktop and laptop. I figure that way the program doesn't get tied up in MS registry. Is that safe?? In other words, I am using the portableapps from the c:\ drive, not a USB.

Hi,

I would really like to know how I make a portable app from some programms! If someone could tell me how, I would be very happy!

Best regards!

Hi,

How can I rename an entry in the PortableApps Menu?

Thank you.

I have a non-working version of this on my drive with some lucifer.paf file suggesting I had a portable version, I cant remember...

Have done a search of the sinternet and forums here and can find nowt, anyone remember seeing anything on it??

Is there a way to sort forum searches?

I want to see if anyone is working on QEMU Portable. If I search for QEMU Portable 11 pages of topics, but I want to see what the most recent discussion is.

Wow, I guess with the HW from 6th grade and my enhanced forgetfullness I really need more time to do school stuff. I'm probably won't be able to do much more programming or forum help until Thanksgiving, when I can manage to work out more time. My projects are up for (temporary) grabs until I come back (}:)).
If you want, you can email me at digitnonymouse [4t] gmail [d0t] com to ask me about anything or give me news.
Oh no, the bus!!!
Just kidding.
See ya 2 months.

Hi.

I posted this elsewhere but no comments were made so I guess it was in the wrong section.

If PortableApps [or anything for that matter] are run from a USB flash drive plugged into a Vista machine [without saving files or anything except to the USB thumb drive], will there be any traces left on the Vista machine in the form of logs, temp files, records of any type? It would be enlightening to know.

Thanks in advance.
