General Discussion

I have installed a few extra applications into the Menu structure as per the supplied instructions.

Some of these directories contain more than one .exe file, but I only want to see the main program file listed on the menu. Is there any way to "hide" a .exe fime from the Portable Apps Menu?

I tried renaming the unwanted files, rescanning and then naming them back, that worked until I ejected and re-inserted my stick.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hi,

First of all sorry if this ends up in the wrong part of the forum.

Is it, or would it be possible to have an option to group applications in folders? Like in the Windows Start menu and the earlier version of the PortableApps menu??

The new version is a big plus to the old one, but I miss my sets of folders grouping everything on app type

cheers,

rob

Hi,

I have just installed the portableapps suite but when I click the startportableapps.exe I get an error message saying "only part of a readprocessmemory or writeprocessmemory request was completed".

Anyone any suggestions?

Hey everyone.

I have been using portable apps on an old sandisk cruzer (512 MB), but now that i bought a 4 GB Lexar drive, i have lots of questions.

1. Should i keep the Ceedo software that came with it and run both PortableApps and Ceedo simultaneously? it seems to me that Ceedo has more programs, but i don't know if they are functional on PortableApps as well...

2. Also, I was wondering if there is any equivalent to Argo Application Installer, for PortableApps? i have not used it but it seems to be incredibly useful (it installs ordinary programs onto your flash drive).

I currently use Autorun + a batch file to load up my apps and get everything running quicker with my USB thumb drive for work. My questions is... is it possible to change the display resolution using either a command line, or a small application that can be run from a thumb drive? This is all happeneing on Windows XP Pro machines with up to date Windows antiviral etc...

Do the applications run on the Treo 700p or is it only with Win XP

download a folder on a web page (via Firefox) full of PDFs. However, I want to zip it at the same time using 7-Zip portable. Is there a way to do that? I've tried typing in the folder in the folder line, but that didn't help.

I looked around and didnt find anything specific on this. I'm sure it's here somewhere but couldnt find anything clear.

PAM searches for .exe to list items in the menu. Is there a way to link to any other type of document? I use StickWiki which is a single .html and I'd like to be able to access it from PAM. The way I access now is through a shortcut on the root of the drive to point to the wiki which is in /documents/wiki/stickwiki.html

I just installed the light (and tried the basic and full versions) and with all three each time I load up portapps the menu will load fine. Once I click on any program, folder, setting, search, help, etc... (basically anything) within the menu it will load the program just fine but portapps always crashes and brings up an error message saying it encountered a problem and needs to close.

I'm running on winxp sp2 1.6ghz amd turion 64 mobile 1gb ram HP laptop. The basic programs I have running all the time are: AIM, Gmail notifier, dreamweaver, photoshop, firefox, flashfxp, and notepad.

John,

If I see it correctly, no one has a word about the new Forum optics. They aren't that new any more (bout 2 weeks old now) but I like them. I had to get used to it but I like them.
I didn't discover the best thing until today which is the statistics section. Knowing how many registered users we have (25,511) and how many guests (900) is cool and I was impressed by those numbers.

Thanks for making this public!
