To change a drive letter upon insertion of usb is quite simple. Just one prerequisite: administrator.
So, you need a batch file with the following line:
diskpart /s %temp%\text.txt
and a text file saved as "text.txt" in your temp dir (%temp%) with the following lines:
select volume=F
assign letter=T
In this case, F is the current drive letter (F:\) and T is the drive letter that I want (T:\).

A New version of PStart has come out. Check it out if you have not already a few new features.

Hey everyone,

I have a SanDisk Cruzer micro 1Gb thumb drive. It's the non U3 version.
I can run portableApps.com apps and other executables off of it without a problem.
I was wondering what is so special about U3 - and even, what it is and does it do? (besides that it's another standard I guess)

I tried to put U3 Skype on my drive but it wouldn't let me, so I guess U3's standards are a little bit different other than just having an app not use the windows registry.

Can someone explain/point out some major differences between a regular smart drive and between a U3 one.

Thanks

I really love these portable apps, they are stinking amazing! I also have a e107 pen drive setup that is suppose to work so I can develope PHP/MySQL apps. It's on my 30 gig ipod and I think it would work on a flash drive. Please let me know what I gotta do, thanks!

[Subject changed by moderator JTH. "help pls?" is a pretty useless subject.]

I have build my portable app and will publish it on my own web site (because it is freeware, not GPL).

On my web site I would like to refer in this context to further Portable Apps on this page (portableapps.com) and show the PortableApps.Com logo for this purpose.

Any legal/copyright/property concerns with this?

Thanks,

Franz

I have just released a portable software to import, export, delete, and rename files in TrueCrypt containers without needing admin rights. This is basically a GUI for the wonderful OTFExplorer by tateu.

You can download TCExplorer from CodeProject.

I've got a Canon a540 with an SD MMC memory card. But I have no memory card adapter. I can, however, plug my camera into my Windows XP/Kubuntu 7.04 dualboot computer via USB. But I can't actually put any files or folders on it (with my current configuration), only read the files. Any idea on how to put portable apps on it?

i want to unistall my u3 launchpad with http://www.u3.com/support/#CQ3!but if i want to install again,i would be able to??? and how???

I just had an idea.

I think that PortableApps.com could/should offer paid support. This would entice more companies to use the software and would increase revenue for John.
I would volunteer to be part of the support team if this were to happen, as it would help the development of the site (and John would have more time to read his emails ).

Tell me what you think.
