General Discussion

Hi,
I heard that Java was having some virus problems recently and wondered if it was safe to upgrade both local and portable versions to the latest versions or stay on a previous build. If someone could clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Which apps do you recommmend to begin a functional portable substitute. Thanks, I'm new to computers

Interesting.

I recently downloaded Jitsi Portable from sourceforge ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/jitsiportable/ ), unzipped it, and placed it into the PortableApps directory so I can (hopefully) launch it with the PortableApps.com Menu.

The main program directory contains the following 2 files involved in launching Jitsi Portable:

jitsi-non-portable.exe
jitsi-portable.bat

The batch file contains the following 2 lines:
start jitsi-non-portable.exe --config=./data
exit

I installed Total Commander portable. Now can I move it's menu item from where it installed to the "top level" menu? It installed and buried itself down a couple levels and I would like it readily accessible if possible.

Is it?

I posted this in the PortableApps.com Platform section but moved it here.

Im going to run my PA install from a separate partition on my main hard drive. So I need some suggestions.Not a long discussion since theres plenty of similar threads with differing information

1) Logical or Primary? Im guessing it needs to be logical right?
2) Fat, Fat32, or exFat (new xp plugin)->https://portableapps.com/node/18054
3) Best Cluster size?

As it is officially dead. Thank you.

Hi,
Is this portable apps is useful for autorun an java application from USB drive.
if yes, can you please guide me the steps for creating it.

does anybody know why when I install the app to my usb it ran one time now every time I click on the file it does nothing.

thanx

I think this is great software and I install it religiously across my many workstations at both home and at work however now that there is the download function; it seems kind of redundant to call them "portable" any more and I require more support, as when I install the platform on C: e.g. Program Files -vs- PortableApps (it doesn't even show a folder destination, which might be ok in some circumstances but doing this 20x a day :/) I have to go into the drive in order to start anything.

I think PA.com needs more options, so can they be delivered?
