U3 Apps (Discontinued)

Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice.org for U3 by PortableApps.com

Can not remove Firefox from U3 device

Submitted by Mirkoni on May 31, 2007 - 2:33am

Hi all,

I had a virus detected on my Sandisc U3 drive. Instead of uninstalling apps, I deleted the complete content of the drive.

After that, I removed all the listed software from U3 application but firefox won't go. Now, I can not reinstall it again for it gives the message that it is already there even there is no application again.

What should I do?

thanks

PortableApps and U3?

Submitted by paladin225 on May 10, 2007 - 1:06pm

Hello,

I've seen here and there that John may cease development of programs for the U3 system; I was wondering whether there was any further news on the matter.

A friend just gave me a new flash drive, and it has U3 on it. I haven't played with it yet, but it seems interesting, and I like the auto-run functionality. I also looked at the demo they have on their website (a while back, when U3 was just coming out) and I saw some interesting features (complete customization of the user interface--desktop picture, desktop, theme, etc, unless I got it wrong).

U3 leaving tracks?

Submitted by Portme on May 8, 2007 - 2:50pm

I was trying out my new U3 drive just experimenting here and there. It was fun. Then I just happened to make visible all hidden files and I found that my U3 drive was leaving weird folders and odd files all over my computer. Is this normal? Will it happen on other peoples computer if I use my U3 drive?

I am waiting for the next version of portable apps so I can delete this U3 starter. It makes me just feel so dirty.

Auto Launch PortApps and U3 Simultaneously

Submitted by icu2portapps on April 25, 2007 - 3:15pm

I have had my 1st usb flash drive about 20hours now and am playing with tweaks and settings for U3. I ran across PortApps in my learning about all of this.

I don't know if anyone is interested in this tweak or setting but here goes. I installed Portapps basic (so far). U3 has a program called Xtraveller(program launcher app).

So I added the PortApps start menu to the Xtraveller. I set U3, Xtraveller, and PortApps to all auto launch when usb flash stick is inserted. I also set Xtraveller and PortApps to minimize on launch.
