General Discussion

I am looking for a way to create instructions that pop up automatically when you pop in a usb thumb drive. I would like to display images in windows explorer, if at all possible. I am unsure whether custom icons is the way to do this, or if there is a way to inject html or alter the visuals of windows explorer into something more friendly to create a more intuitive experience for users of my little usb device.

Can anyone tell how to set this up for portable apps. Have heard that Ketarin can do the job, and perhaps also Filehippo, but how?
Thanks.

Can you however convert .u3p files to .paf or to.exe?

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section or has been asked before but I have searched the forum and can't find the answer.

I have recently bought a new flash drive with a write protect switch.I am now using this drive for my portable apps.The problem I have is that when I try to close the menu I get a message saying :-
"Unable to write to F:\PortableApps\PortableApps.Com\Data\PortableAppsMenu.ini"

I can only close the menu if I unlock the drive or pull the drive from the USB socket.

Currently, the version-numbers for all the programs that are part of portable-apps
are only shown on their respective download-pages, and those of the last few updates in the news-sidebar.

It would be useful to have a summary-page showing the version-numbers
(and the date of the last update) for all programs, e.g. as a table.

Hello,

Recently my work computer underwent a new Image Boot Load. The copy of XP is bare essentials!

RIGHT Button Mouse click and window shortcut keys are disabled.
Internet Options disabled
Control Panel and My computer disabled
etc..

Only thing you can really do is access the pre installed programs and the Network Drive and navigate and view the network map set up.

Also, I can log into router as a guest...

The internet works for just about every website...and I know if that's the case there must be a way to ACCESS my USB thumb drive?!?!?

Hi,

sorry if this was already posted some time ago - didn't find something with Google or the search function (or I'm to dumb to use it).

I would like to make TotalCommander (and some other non free applications - but I will use only TotalCommander in this post as example) portable so I could use it every where I go (yeah I have a license).

why when i am done encrypting a drive the i unmont it and go to plug it back in it ask me to format the drive please help

hi

where do I find some good examples and guides. To show me how a portable app is made.

best regards and thanks Flemming

I mistakenly made a booboo on a file I should never have opened. I'm questioning the stability of this install as getting weird opened programs (eg. winrar has 4 processes -- and several weird errors after opening archives).
