As the title says.
I miss the close tab button. It was so much easier than having to click each tab's seperate button.

Yeah, since you guys know more about USB drives than just about anyone I know, do you guys know of any good ones that I can get. I'd like to get 2GB and one that's decently fast at running these Portable Apps. Also, my price range would be less than $30 if that's even feasible on the market nowadays. So any good deals?

I think im gonna faint! Ur only 12 and ur that big of a dev! The first app I made was at the start of age 11! Now im 12 and I still can only do the hello world! (opps! just gave away that im young!)

I only use the computer for storage, music, and drafting, and have a hard time on anything related to software/programming, but I do enjoy it very much. I imagine there are others like me who have trouble with the simplest of things. So to all of you, I want to share this with you. I wanted to have a shortcut on my PStart (usb drive) to the desktop and my documents folders. All one needs to do on the usb drive is right click => new => shortcut, and for the target type: %userprofile%\Desktop and click next (same for My Documents, just make sure you have quotation marks)

4. Lastly, we have: Localize (sic) by ad_267: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2063/

So, what do you think? If you can suggest another, please do.

When downloading Firefox I see it has been optimised as to maximise the life of the USB device. Does this mean using Portable Firefox will have as an effect my USB flash drive will have a dramatically lessened lifespan? How long, on average, should it be able to live using it daily for 8 hours continually? Or is that a bad idea?

Im just getting into hacking the context menu in windows xp but one thing I cant seem to figure out is, how do I get a "find target" option (like what is in the properties window of a shortcut) in the menu? I cant for the life of me, Figure out a way to do this. Anybody can help me on this?

Hello,

After the name change of all apps there should be short urls in addition to the old names to reflect the name change while still allowing old signatures to work.

Examples:
https://portableapps.com/portable_openoffice
https://portableapps.com/openoffice_portable
