Submitted by tanisthalon on October 31, 2006 - 2:15pm

I have created a new portable version of CamStudio (create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into Streaming Flash videos).

Features:

  • Directory structure is compatible to portableapps.com
  • Uses installed settings
  • Fancy splash-screen

There is a lossless codec available for this from the original sourceforge page. I am looking at how it can be intergrated in the future.

DAMN NFO Viewer Portable

Submitted by ekin_116 on October 19, 2006 - 2:28am

DAMN NFO Viewer is an utility for viewing text files containing ASCII Art (e.g. nfo files), and it proved itself to be handy So... if you're fed up with starting some DOS-like file manager each time you need to view nfo file, or ain't too happy with the viewer you use, or (worst case) use Notepad - give this little tool a try.

DAMN NFO Viewer is a freeware. You can get it at

AutoStart second release

Submitted by rene on October 17, 2006 - 9:23pm

It is now 4 weeks ago that the initial AutoStart.exe was released, so I thought it was time for an update. Here is the short list of what has changed:

  1. USB Hard Drives now have a tray icon.
  2. TrueCrypt volumes, now also get a tray icon.
  3. TrueCrypt volumes stored on a flash drive are automatically dismounted when that flash drive is ejected.
  4. Selecting 'Eject/Unplug' on a TrueCrypt volume itself will dismount it.
  5. Code to eject a drive has been rewritten from scratch and now supports more exotic device trees.
  6. I improved the code that scans the flash drive for portable applications to handle PortableApps directories better.

U3-autorun: A U3 Launchpad replacement to launch your own applications.

Submitted by walkeraj on October 12, 2006 - 3:26pm

I have written an application called U3Autorun that is designed to replace the launchpad code in the U3 partition of U3-enabled flash drives. The application, when run from the U3 partition, performs the following actions:

1) Spawns a copy of itself to a temp folder on the user's hard drive.
2) The copy then scans the root directories of all removable drives
for a file u3-autorun.ini.
3) If it finds this file, it scans it for the name of the executable
to run relative to it.
4) Finding that, it runs the executable.
5) Optionally, it will wait for the executable to finish running and

How to eject an USB Flash Drive

Submitted by rene on September 20, 2006 - 8:06am

To avoid having to include copyrighted code I decided to describe in detail the method Uwe Sieber has discovered to Eject a drive.
Because the method of doing something is not protected by copyright, anyone following these steps and coming to a working solution will have their own copyright on the code thus produced.
