New update here:

Howdy all and welcome to another exciting PortableApps.com Update. I know this is falling a little late in the week, so it's really more of a week summary rather than a what's coming, but at least it's here. And they ran out of punch and pie at the store, so there's cookies and Fresca in the back today.

Updating Current Portable Apps (FINALLY COMPLETED!!)

TrueCrypt is great but lacks an important feature. Mounting to folder instant of drive so it wouldn`t need admin rights.

Is there already another tools which can do this?

I was working on a way to COPY and REMOVE folders in Application Data when I accidentally removed ALL sub folders Application Data while I thought I removed only Application Data\testfolder.

Even my quick launch bar is now gone

Some of NSIS are very sketchy and googling didn't help either. Well I found a 'solution' but that wiped my whole Application Data folder clean. I have no idea how to restore it or what will happen if I reboot...

Is there anyway to make portableapps open rar/zip files?
in my pen drive is better to keep the files compressed instead .exe. because that way, i can safe some space.Files .exe are bigger than .zip/.rar.So would better i add files .rar/.zip in the main menu but as far i know i can't do that due the file association with .exe or .paf.exe.
any idea?

and sorry for my bad english.

thanks all

Hi,

Would anyone know if there is a possibility to have a password prompt when first accessing the PortableApps?

Many thanks

The latest release of Eraser overwrote my settings. Is there a problem here or is this to be expected? Can I just copy a file from a backup to get things going again?

I'm looking for a program that will password protect anyone from accessing my UBS drive. I'm a teacher, and grades, reports, etc are on my usb drive. So if a student took it from me, it would at least like to have the security of the kid not being able to open the usb drive without a password. Is there a portable program like this that I could use?

also, I was wondering if there was a portable keylogger?

I thought something like the following ought to be on the page. I know it's obvious but there's mileage in spelling it out?

These are big advantages to me - not very well worded I know, but you get the idea.

And last but not least

• No setup/install in Windows required
• No multiple copies on multiple PCs to maintain
• No installs required of favourite apps when get a new PC, a new hard drive or need to reformat and reload OS

I notice that the images rarely work when reading the RSS feeds, at least in Google Reader. It seems that there's a referrer check on them as the same images work fine from the actual portableapps.com pages. Not a big deal, but mildly annoying.
