Lets Wish Patrick Patience a Very Sweet & a Happy Birthday 
Enjoy,
when i try to access a file at school it will not allow me to download. is there anyway that someone can add the installers in like a non-exe format
here, they have blocked
EXE AND ZIP download's
is there anyway we can support an external file extention? like .rar or a custom file extention like .paf! (no .exe extention)
Hey everybody. I just got a 16gb flash drive from tiger direct a few days ago. It is SWEET!
had to reload portable apps and trying to download open office and fire fox and when it downloads it is very quick and has 0 bytes to it
I noticed that NUV and KompoZer are repeated once in development, and once in internet. Also, even if the programs are based off each other, I think they should be listed seperatly. Also, why do we link to XAMPP if it isn't from PortableApps? Actually, we only provide a LAUNCHER!!! Yes, a launcher.
Menu Integration: XAMPP isn't in PortableApps.com Format, but it easily integrates with the PortableApps.com Suite by using the XAMPP Launcher 1.3 and installing XAMPP in the root directory of your portable device (as recommended).
Okay, instead of posting thanks topics, lets put all our thanks here to John and the Devs. Then we know how much thanks there is.
I'll go first:
Thanks everyone for being such a helpful bunch of people. I could never have learned how to even make an EXE without your help. Special Thanks to John and Rab040ma, John for starting this and Rab040ma for teaching me so much about how to make a portable app.
Ok is there anyway to do a uninstall like most other programs like this have. Like i can have stuff in My Documents folder on my usb drive and i can install everything but that my documents file. Cause now i only see the ability to format the driver or delete the other folders as a way to uninstall.
Thanks
Shawn
I was wondering, I use the R30 menu mod, and would like it is I could get the folder icons for documents and video, without the folder.
I mean, just think. All the other crappy things we would be stuck using. If it wasnt for john we would never be here. 
TY JOHN!!!
A while after I installed the portable apps suite, my USB name changed to portableapps, and I cannot rename it back, as it reverts back to "portableapps" all the time. I've read some of the previous topics, that it has to do with autorun.inf but I've had no luck. I tried changing it and even deleting the file but I still cannot rename it. Please help, as my USB name is bothering me greatly.
