General Discussion

I was being tempted to buy a shiny USB3 device on this site and then I remembered that I had promised myself not to use devices that didn't allow me to write-protect the contents if I had to use them in someone else's PC...

I did a search (I tried "Write lock") but most discussion dated back to 2007 and were quite short anyway. Two questions:

1. Does anyone know of an "ordinary" USB drive that has the write protect feature that I have with an SD card in a USB "convertor"

hi peeps
i was wondering if anyone knew if there is such a program that looks for grammar error inside a folder tree. like a program that checks all the files inside a folder and subfolders.

Is there a way to have a listing of the dates application were auto-updated.

I just had about 5 or 6 apps updated...and I did not note which ones...so I don't know which ones to copy from my usb stick to my hard drive.

Also, is there a way to let a list of apps installed on the usb stick should it die and I want to reconstruct it?

thanks

Yesterday I reinstalled my Windows. After that I found all the splash screens of the portable apps went black. Normally before I reinstall my Windows, the splash screen can show up, but now, only a black rectangle.
Is there something missing in my computer system? Why this occurs? Thanks for any help.

Here is the screenshot:

Can anyone recommend a way for me to sync all my Apps with my multitude of devices? Specifically, a corporate PC that blocks Dropbox and Google Drive and sync it with two more home PC's that I have? Should I sync via USB or cloud? Any advice would be appreciated...Thanks.

If i use Foxit Reader portable to open pdf document after closing the document foxitreader.exe and foxitreaderportable.exe do not exit. They are still in the task manager and consuming RAM. Is that a bug?

I am using Windows XP.

First off I just wish to say howdy to yal, and thank you for your works. Found yal looking for a way to sort / categorize the apps I have... and in the process found some apps to replace the ones I have beings they fit my tastes and or are smaller in size.

So here we go. No I do not have any apps on a usb stick, flash drive. I am running them on my laptop that is being treated like a desktop.

Hello Everybody,

Does anyone know an alternative for applications that require net framework or exists an alternative ".NET 4" application?

For example:

I want to start a self-made portable app (made via cameyo online packer) which need Net Framework 4. I cant install .NET because i have no admin rights. Without NET4 my application doesn't start.

I don't have any problem with finding and reading messages that people have posted. I have registered as a member. JavaScript is enabled on each page of the portableapps.com domain. But I have yet to see any button, hyperlink, dialog or anything esle which would enable me to post a reply to an existing post. Am I going blind, or is there some "secret" to doing that?
