Beta Testing

AppLauncher is now Portable Startup Utility.
I re-arranged a few things and added a additional functions.

Setup:
Download PSU to your portable drive.
Modify your autorun.inf to run psu.exe -all

Usage:
psu.exe will open the settings window
psu.exe -all will apply all saved settings
psu.exe -clean will cleanup portable settings applied to host PC
(environment variable & drive substitution)

Source & History are now on the Apps Homepage.

This is mainly a bug fix release over Prerelease 4, so here's what you need to know.

• The new progress boxes were finished and should now stay responsive
• An abort button has been added to the progress boxes
• Copying file attributes/timestamps should now always work

The files are hosted by Ryan and are here.

A quick summary of the features available is here.

Enjoy!

To start you may not sue me for anything related to this program. This program should work, but there is no guarantee.

Now that I have that off my chest Shellfish is a program that I wrote that I have never before released. It uses one of two methods to get the text to the other program without the keylogger knowing. Method 1 uses a paste technique. It will only work with standard windows Edit controls. Method 2 overwrites the clipboard, but it will work with most controls.

Windows File Explorer Portable-Read the FULL POST to make sure you get everything you need.

Windows File Explorer is a regular file explorer, like Windows Explorer, but with many more options such as two panels, file previews, and more. The application is also free, but not open-source. I decided to make a launcher for it anyways because it my personal opinion, it's a fairly decent file browser.

OpenVPN Portable is openvpn and a system tray gui in the paf format.

Unfortunately openvpn needs an admin account.

When is the portable Linux OS going to be released for beta testing?

Thanks,

This is a simple eject script made with AutoIT. LINK UPDATED 31th May

It searches for processes running from the USB drive and closes them gracefully - That is unsaved open files will prompt for saving - only caveats are if an app minimises to the tray when closed as in UTorrent (behaviour can be changed in the app) and USB Files opened with programs that are not on the USB drive will not close if they do not have the path in their child window title.

Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but I couldn't find any information about it....

I just discovered and installed Portable Google Talk and it's running like a charm, but I'd like to know whether there's a way to install themes for it (such as can be downloaded from the "themes" page here: http://www.customizetalk.com/). I'm stuck with just the "classic" theme for choice of appearances in the Settings dialog... but since there *is* an Appearance option there, I'd like to be able to use it.

I am running a version of skype that I have made portable - thanks to the many suggestions here and on the web. It works fine so far as I have tested it.

It contains no skype information (i.e. no proprietary info).

It is a file structure with a set of tools (.bat batch files) that can be run
from anywhere (i.e. from a shortcut, using pstart). And the file structure can
be placed anywhere, including the desktop (which as you know has spaces in the
file path which can confuse some of the simpler batch file attempts).

You install the commercial skype app. Then you run:

I have put together a toolkit for making portable applications. This is for people who don't like NSIS and perfer AutoIt. It includes a code template for a launcher and a compressor script to compress a directory.

Supported formats for compression

• EXE -- UPX
• HTML -- Absolute HTML Compressor
• ZIP -- 7-Zip
• PNG -- Optipng

To add your own compression format simply create a new batch file in the helpers directory.

To enable pngout support download pngout to a folder under helpers name pngout. Open png.bat and uncomment the line of code.
