General Discussion

Hi,

I am thinking of Google Chrome, since the update mechanism does not inform as to any update pending and I am concerned about safety since I don't want to be running any out-of-date applications, particularly those that use the internet.

Also, secondly when a program crashes would it not be a good idea that in the least if an update is provided by the menu that it does the clean up for you?

Cheers and thanks

Is there a way to integrate portable application in windows explorer context menu? For example, the installed version of notepad++ creates "Edit with notepad++" in but the portable version doesn't do this. But i am not asking only for notepad++ but for any application that i want to integrate in the context menu.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I am now dealing with an application that will put a shortcut in C:\Documents and Settings\Name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
How can I delete or move the shortcut in this directory? Thanks for help.

Something that I've begun to do recently is writing my applications in web technologies with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The reason for this is that it has many benefits, cross-platform being a big one. However, it wasn't the biggest one that I saw. Maintainability and ease of development were the biggest. The code-base for my apps would stay very simple and easy to understand to any web developer. Changes could be made very easily and quickly given HTML's dynamic capabilities.

Dear Mr.John
Is it possible for the platform to be resigned so that it would open in full screen mode and the apps arranged to appear like icons in a windows desktop?. This might in fact act like a Portable Desktop Environment.Hope u will consider the suggestion
with regards

This AHK script solves the following. apparently long-standing, problem:

"[...] did not close properly last time it was run and will now clean up. Please then start [...] again manually."

This is the message I get after restarting my PC and opening some apps. I know the problem is that I let Windows close the apps when I shut down my computer and it doesn't occur if I close the apps manually before the shutdown. But this isn't very cool because I often have 4 or 5 apps open.

Is it possible to install Licensed software on a USB Stick under portable apps, so it can be used on windows systems without having to install it on the windows system itself?
