Hello Group;

I use "TheSage" dictionary on my PC. It is a free download.

I just found out that it is by design portable. It does not right anything to registries or other places on the hard drive. You can in fact uninstall it from your PC after you copy it over to your USB. You just install it on to your PC and then copy the entire directory on to your USB.

PAM picks it up as it only has one "exe" file in the main directory.

Hi,

Silly NuB question here - I've just had a 1Gb drive, and downloaded and installed the 'standard' portable apps install (I also tried the 'barebones' version too).

I click on the 'StartPortableApps.exe' icon - I get the hour glass and then.... nothing....?

I'm probably doing something silly here - can someone tell me what it is?

I'm running Win2k server - and just in case its relevant, Sophos (yak - works machine).

Many thanks

Carl.

When I try to download

Portable Apps Suite (Base Edition)

I get a noticed that says:

This object has been blocked.

Could someone please tell me why?

I wasn't sure where to post this, but over the past week or so, every time Preacher (he's only one i've noticed so far, but im sure others do it as well) posts a topic or a reply to a topic, all of his posts from a 2 to 3 hour period become marked as new posts in the forums.

John,

I'm not trying to bug you with pesky little details, but the DST on your site has not yet been changed. I'm not familiar with worldwide DST, but if you intended this for the others worldwide, forgive me. Also, if anyone has not updated their computer yet for the new DST, check out these updates.

Woowowow....
Wait... Is that an eject button?!?

Look on the main screen. Look closely at the screenshot of the portable apps program. It looks like an eject button! Cool! I wonder how to get it? I've downloaded the latest beta, so why don't I have it? HELP ME!

Anyone here know of a free program that can change the properties of files on Windows systems without administrative rights?

How come when I DL the new Portable Apps doe sit not look any different from the old one? I noticed there is an eject button in the picture, but not when I install the newer version. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Just a suggestion.
I don't know how many campers are here on the forums, but when camping or hiking etc. there is a saying "Leave nothing behind" or "If you pack it in, pack it out"
I think the "Leave nothing behind" would be a perfect slogan for PortableApps.

Opinions?

Somebody updated the wikipedia page.

A little while ago, I just copied some info from the site to Wikipedia.org so people new more about the site and what was availible (Me persnally, I like to read up on wikipedia.org before roaming the actual product, site, etc.)
