don't known if this was posted before but new to portable apps and work wiyh both vista and xp how do i get it not to leave the sites i vist in the internet cache please help thank you

Recently I needed to open a huge PDF, 1000+ pages and Sumatra opened it but it
was rather slow, really slow. So keeping with the portable philosophy I searched

I have very recently discovered PortableApps.com and have found it very useful since then. I am very sure that whoever comes to know about this site/suite, would find it useful much above their expectations. Be it be the Apps or the Community, they are equally useful in their own way. I have been happy so far.

I just logged on and noticed the new forum icons.(they look very pretty, btw)

Anyways, I was just wondering if the icons were the only things changed about the forum, or if there were other, more subtle changes included as well?

Just curious...

I have and idea. Sense we allow people to host their own apps why don't we have people host their own "official" (or "non-official") PortableApps.com suite packages if they wanted they could host support for non "PA.com" portable apps. What do you think?

I was at school the other day browsing with my wonderful portable firefox and accidentally opened a PDF. I thought oh crap here comes Adobe. Well after waiting for it to load I downloaded it and used our wonderful Sumatra PDF portable. I had an idea. Could we create a plug in for FireFox that would make Sumatra PDF open the PDF within the browser like Adobe does? I looked at the mozilla website and I didn't see anything about creating your own plugins does anyone know where I can get some info on how to do it?

I use the program a bunch do to the computer work we do at school and its a great way to keep track of programs serial keys. Just thought i would let you know about it.

I want to know why mac on a stick is on PortableApps. I've wondered for a while it is the only app that...

1. Requires downloading of illegal files or owning something
2. Is NOT hosted on portableapps
3. Is NOT in PAF format
4. Does not include every required file
5. Is not 100% open source
6. Does not have announced updates
7. And to top it off, there is an open source alternative, Linux

me...tedious..lol..how about you?

http://www.osalt.com/ lists Open Source Alternatives. I was looking through the list and saw apps like Ad-Aware, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, McAfee VirusScan, etc. Are those apps really Open Source?
