What file do I need to put on my USB drive so that my computer automatically boots normally from the hard drive?
Currently, the computer attempts to boot from the USB, and then I have to press a key to instruct it to boot from the hard drive.

is there other way to create portable program more advance. like when Double-Click show my massage like program create by SB4 ..etc ?

I mostly use portable appz so I don't have to install programs. So without installing how to easily set file associations. I found Open Expert
http://www.baxbex.com/ox2.html

worked great so far, next i want to test and see where it saves it's files and be able to save that info. Anyway just thought it might help some others.

I also found
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tweak/tweak-0.8.42.zip?use_default=su...
a command line file association tool. I could just make a bat file to register them all.

hummmmm which to do.

you guys could write bat files that run at pstar

I have been using a selection of portable apps for some months on my Data Traveller Elite 1GB. It has been working really well.

In the past two days the Firefox and Thunderbird launchers have just disappeared. I reinistalled FF and TB and all was fine for a day. Now the launchers are again not visible at the file system level. PStart can't see the launchers either. I always eject the drive.

Has anybody seen this happen before? What is going on?

Thanks in advance.

How do you erase all the data that was ever on your usb stick. Like even the hidden temp files that allow you to recover files from.so theres nothing at all on there. So its complety clean. Thanks

I'm planning on doing some bug squashing this weekend in preparation for the upcoming Suite release and wanted to be sure I've got everything on the To-Do list that needs doing. Right now, the list consists of:

All app launchers:
- Review trailing slashes in initial directory setups (causes issues with Win9x on a couple apps like Firefox in certain directories)
- Review split apps directory structure to ensure settings directory is applied (this affects Gaim, GIMP and a couple others)
- Ensure new GetParameters function is used so all apps are compatible with Unicode command lines (like filenames/paths)

As a part of the directory standardization, I'm thinking about adding a CommonFiles directory. This would be handy for binaries that are shared among multiple applications. GTK+ would be an obvious example (used by Gaim and GIMP). Java would be another candidate for the future.

In adding on to the proposed directory structure, we'd get:

\ (Drive Root)
  - Documents
    - Music
    - Pictures
    - Videos
  - PortableApps
    - CommonFiles
      - GTK
    - FirefoxPortable (etc)
    - GaimPortable (etc
...

As an example, the Gaim launcher, if it didn't find GTK in the internal directory, would check the PortableApps\CommonFiles\GTK directory.

Hi,
Is there any portable voice chat program? (like aim, etc..)

Thank You

My school computers won't recognize multiple flash drives/external hard Drives. All the computers are running windows xp profesional. I'm not shure but is it a problem with profesional or my schools computers? I don't have pro so I cant test this theory. Can any one help me?

I bought a Sandisk flash drive and it had U3 on it. Whether it did or didn't, I didn't care because it happened to be on super sale at Office Depot. However, it started met thinking about U3 and other portable apps so I am just curious how many people here removed U3 from their flash drive if it was previously installed by the manufacturer?
