Say you want to install Universal extractor

Download universal extractor.zip from a any mirror.
Create a Directory with any name (eg: universal extractor) in the PortableApps folder.
Now extract the content of this zip file in to into that folder.
In portable apps menu click options and Refresh apps icons.

This can be done with any application on a condition that the directory in which the app is installed or extracted does not have 2 *.exe files. Otherwise both these *.exe files will be viewed in Portable Apps menu.

Hi all,

I have had portable apps for about a month now and it is AWESOME!!! just something i was wondering... i have a heap of SWF games and stuff which i frequently play... i was wondering if there is a script or a way i can put them into the menu of portable apps so i can easily access them?

Thank you in advance

Is there any way to have a USB access indicator built-in to the tray icon? I have one of those PQI drives that doesn't have an indicator and would like to have one.

I don't no what to choose for media player - VLC media portable or Mplayer portable.

So I going to let you choose which one I must take and why you perform that choose.

Ok I know absolutely nothing about NSIS.

I was wondering can it find and replace a line in an .ini?

Here you can't see my homepage-link nor my sig.

I Want to install a theme but I missing a few directory's in PortableAppsmenu.

Following this topic https://portableapps.com/node/4571 I must install the theme in this dir. "PortableAppsMenu\App\DefaultData\Theme directory"

But the only directory in my PortableAppsmenu is an Icon dir so NO \App\DefaultData\Theme directory

I think there should be a seperate forum section for people who have made themes can post their themes.

Anyone have any insight into why Win2k access speeds are so much faster than WinXP Pro? I've noticed this on 3 different drives running ThunderbirdPortable. Is there any way to tweak XP to act like Win2k? There are noticable delays (e.g., click on a message, pause, preview comes up in the pane, etc.) when using TP on WinXP that are not noticable at all on Win2k. Defragmenting helps, but doesn't fully do the trick. Obviously, a WinXP 'problem' not PortableApps, but I thought folks here might have a trick or two to get around it.

Thanks, Russell

Edit: I don't have an idea why you guys decided it was an awesome idea to revive this, It's a 3 year old forum post.
