Hallo everybody!

Please don't erase this thread or kill me for advertising, but give a chance to my little open source project:

I was wondering if it were possible to have an option for PA to alert the user that a USB is still plugged in.
Very similar to the portable version of this http://www.usbalert.nl/usbalert/ but instead of it beeping very loudly and long, just have a notification that says it is still plugged in and have an option to eject or continue shutdown.
This would be a great feature for people who forget USBs as I have lost a USB that cost $50 and was very angry at myself.

OK, I just upgraded to version 10 from 1.6.

The upgrading of apps, as well as installing new apps, are both nice features, but as I looked through everything, I discovered a problem. Two of the apps that I had (mplayer portable and spydllremover portable) were now "gone" from the portableapps pages, but there really isn't any way to inform the user of that (in fact, I am more likely to think "no update? that's good."). It seems to me that the user should be informed when an app is removed from the repository, which isn't very likely to happen without a good reason.

Hi ... I'm a very novices user with U3 software in fact I reformatted the drive and lost my U3 software . Now its a plain flash drive stick ... Is their a software that I can download that does the same thing as U3 ? Thanks

Hi,

I was searching the FAQ but since I couldn't find an answer to my question, I decided to post the question here.

I need to create a file on a thumbdrive so that whenever the thumbdrive is inserted into a PC, it automatically opens my client's web page, or alternativly the web page that is stored offline on the thumbdrive.

I also want the people who will be using the thumdrive not to be able to format the thumbdrive and wipe it.

Is this possible with the Portableapp ? Or I need another way of doing this ?

I know this may seem like a dumb request... but I would like a launcher for the launcher ;-). The reason is that I like to pin PAM to my Windows7 TaskBar. Unfortunately since I run PAM from a removable drive, and at times I do not have the drive plugged in when Windows boots. Sometimes Windows either deletes the pinned shortcut, or the shortcut loses it's icon. What I would like is to have a launcher that can stay on my personal PC's so that the pinned shortcut will always be there.

I received my engraved 16GB drive on 12/24, but it is empty. I thought it was supposed to come pre-loaded with Portable Apps (descriptions says "Pre-loaded with the PortableApps.com Platform"). Has any one else received their drive yet? Was Portable Apps loaded?

Does the lifetime warrantee include replacement caps for the device. The detachable ones are prone to loosing.

I seem to get this screen a lot with the updater - anyone else see the same?

Oddly, shortly after that screen pops up, the updater screen with apps I actually have installed pops up over the top of it.

I've updated this comment, see below.
