Ok Im Trying To Create A Personal And Portable Version Of Virtual Dimention.

I Created The Installer App To Make It Portable And There Is A Problem With The Adding This Registry Key To The Regedit........ :|

the reg file is called "registry.reg" as said in the template and stored in the data section.
the laucher wont apply the reg key into regedit and so it looks like its not portable.

What Code Do I Put Into The NSI File And Where In The File Do I Put It? (What Line)? So That It Will Apply The Reg File.

Just as the title says. Is it a forgotten project?

Many people have suggested solutions of combining PortableApps and TrueCrypt. I also have one at http://webandlife.blogspot.com/2007/11/build-secured-and-portable-pim.html

Such solution has all features of U3 in respect of security and GUI. However, it required a few more mouse clicks and keyboarding.
1. When inserting the USB, the VBScript will ask for a drive letter to mount the TrueCrypt container.
2. Before gracefully unplug the USB drive, I need to first close Portable Apps Menu and other portable applications, then unmount the container.
3. Two tray icons are used.

I just made a Vista Icon Pack for the PortableApps menu, since I didn't like the default ones. Tested on PortableApps menu version 1.1 Beta 4.

Are releases shelved on purpose just to spread the new releases over a longer time period?

From one point of view I can appreciate it, as it means more regular releases. But if releases are delayed on purpose it's also annoying having to update PAM every few days or so with one new release.

Hi -

I am looking to buy a 4 or 8 GB flash drive, and want to figure out how many bucks I should put towards faster read / write times, for use on Win XP?

Running portable apps - I see 10 mb/s write, 20, 30; 5, 7, 10, 19, 200 read times.

Also should I steer clear of the ReadyBoost models - seems like memory is set aside for Vista, which I cannot access?

Also want to uninstall all stuff they come with - migo, syncing stuff, etc., so I can use the apps I want from this site.

If this is not the right forum for these questions, please tell me of one.

I work for uncle and people look over our shoulder
and security is very tight. Can you really surf the
web, listen to a stream, or IM seamlessly without leaving
traces with the thumb drive. (when we delete something
is it really deleted and so on)

Just a suggestion, how about a "Link To Us" page with graphics and "suggested" urls for linking to PortableApps.
I know I've seen similar discussions in the forums but couldn't find them by searching.
I would like to link to PortableApps from my website.
Something like "Looking for software for your USB drive, check out PortableApps.com" along with a logo of button.

Greetings all,

I wanted to make a brief post about some attitudes in the forums. Most often this shows up as a harsh post or two directed at a new or less experienced user when they ask a commonly-asked question without searching or request an app with a license that makes it legally impossible for us to package. Sometimes it shows up as some negative comments directed towards someone you disagree with when you're frustrated from having to deal with the former type of user. Other times it's just plain old "having a bad day and posting when you shouldn't".

Can someone help with this problem please.

At work i can plug in my usb and it is recognised as new hardware and installed.

However when i go to my computer i can see the drive.

I have checked the device manager and it is installed ok.

how can i get to see the files on the usb? can anyone help please?
