General Discussion

It would be great if someone could make a "practice app", that is an app that has already been made portable. It could include a text file with what registry entries it adds and how to make it portable with step by stp directions. It would really help those not-so-sure coders get started!

Figured I'd start a new thread as the old one was getting a little lengthy.
Plus based on NeoRames Post I'm guessing he's gonna be releasing a few new themes soon.
You will need eithe v.60 of my menu or the R31 MOD I posted in the R30 MOD forum for some of these new themes.
Lets try and stick to the same guidelines as the previous forum.
1. Post only a line or two about your theme\themes.
2. To avoid multiple posts if you have multiple themes, link to a page listing your themes.

Okay, so I downloaded a theme and tried to install only to really royally mess up. How do I do it. I know there are instructions on here someplace but I tried to search and came up with nada.

Thanks in advance.

BTW: John, portable apps are AWESOME. I use them almost exclusively between work and home. You got a great thing here.

Hi All,
Newbie here so don't bite too hard:-))
I just wanted to report that the Portable Suite works under Steganos Portalbe Safe.
i.e. I have 4gb USB pen drive and half of it is a secure virtual drive (created beforehand with SPSafe)
I wanted to try first... because what's the point of having half of your office & personal staff in the hands of someone else when the USB gets lost or stolen.

I just learned that you can password protect the files in a zipped folder using Windows XP. Would it be possible to create a single password protected zip folder to place all of the contents of a USB stick in (including the Portable Apps suite) as a means of security?

Hey, so I have a Corsair Flash Voyager GT (2 GB.) which I purchased a few months back (July). It has performed flawlessly until last week, when, at random times, the contents of the drive would seemingly "disappear" in windows explorer. Any file transfers to or from the drive would also simultaneously fail.

When I open "My Computer," (where the drive name and icon are still visible) and look at the properties of the drive, it shows that the drive size is 0.0 MBs, with 0.0 MBs of free space left.

When I first signed on I had a problem getting my registration information by Email. Probably caught in a filter. I tried again with the same result. Finally on the 3rd attempt I used another Email address and Got in. The problem was that when I had the issue there was no place I could post and no contact address for this type of issue. Now the database is sitting there with a dead account for no good reason other than it's taking up space.

I recently bought 2 4GB USB sticks but after a while I discovered they are actually 2GB. Anything more than that will result in empty folders or currupted files. Not so great way to waste 40 Euro.

UPDATE:
I found a reference to an application that FORMATS the USB Flash Drive and restores the USB stick to it's ORIGINAL size!! I managed to restore one of the two drives back to the actual 2GB size.
I didn't get the other 'fixed' yet, but at least this is the real size.

UPDATE 2:

Is it possible to download all portable applications in one go?

The suite looks great but doesn't include them all.

By the way, did a search but didn't find any relevant topic, sorry if this has been asked and answered previously.

Suddenly , I dont know why, when I stick in any usb drive , stick or what evr, it is recognised by the system, the green harware remove symbol in the tray, but the drives are not shown in the explorer view, so they are not accessible at all for me.
I can access then from command line, the remove hardware knows them , also the hardware manager knws them as what they are, but I simply can not brows them.

what to do?
