I'm looking for a way to change the location of the autorun.inf file so that the portable apps platform can still 'read' its contents. Currently this file is in the main area of my flashdrive, but for sake of organization I'd rather it be in the portable apps folder. Is there a file I can change to alter the location of autorun.inf?

Map PA Document Folder to Skydrive

Submitted by filimentation on December 24, 2013 - 2:59pm

Just curious if its possible to map the PA Documents folder to my SkyDrive (C:\Users\username\SkyDrive) while also keeping local copies just in case I don't have internet access? This would be impractical if I used many different computers with many different account names. But, I'm only using two machines (work and home) and have my user name the same on both so there should not be a mapping issue. The reason I ask is because I save everything to my thumbdrive and then do dumps over to my Skydrive for backup.

How do you change the portable apps platform's menu title. By default is says "PortableApps.com" and has a logo, but I'd like to customize it like this: https://portableapps.com/files/images/elements/customusb/custom_menu.jpg

I have looked through all of the files in the portable apps folder, but I've been unable to find the image that is the current title.

Any help would be appreciated!
