Just a question about flash drives. I love using these portable apps, but a few of the heftier ones--namely OOo--run unacceptably slow on my flash drive. Is there a way to speed them up? Or is there a recommended kind of USB drive that will work best? Thanks in advance for your answers.

PS--thanks a ton to the developers who make these available at no charge to me.

I'm looking for a freeware or open source screen protractor to use with my image editing programs, in the net I only found an application here http://www.iconico.com/protractor/ but that is a forensic tool and I want something simple just to count angles and nothing more any help will be appreciated.

No. Just no.

It is not remotely a utility.

It should go under games.

just wondering if it's possible to start uTorrent without it being minimized.

i looked in options and have tried everything.

it always starts minimized?

how can i have it start normal?

thank you in advance.

im using the latest version available here:
uTorrentPortable_2.2_Build_24402_online.paf

This morning I went to use PA.com's Revo Uninstaller for the 1st time.
avast 6.0.1000 popped up informing me that this App was a potentially dangerous App and prompted me if I wanted to run it in the Sandbox. I figured the App was likely good since I've been using PA.com Apps without issue for a while. But, out of curiosity, I let it run in the avast Sandbox just to see how that worked.

CamStudio Portable is in the wrong category on the Portable Apps Directory. It is under Utilities but should be in Music and Video.

CamStudio is a great addition to Portable apps. I have used the regular version for quite a while so am delighted to have it in a portable version now. Together, Audacity Portable, CDex Portable, CamStudio Portable and Impress in Open Office Portable provide a solid multimedia production suite in portable form.

Hey guys, are you aware of [Censored as requested; we do know about these thieves - mod Chris], the logo looks vary familiar, but makes no reference back to here...

I only found myself there to get a look at a portable Thunderbird beta...

Did you know that it's really hard to wipe an SSD or USB flash drive of data? The following quote is from a ComputerWorld article entitled "Can data stored on an SSD be secured?"

"USB flash drives didn't fare much better. Between 0.57% and 84.9% of the data remained on the drive after an overwrite was attempted."

Read the whole ComputerWorld article here.

The original research from UCSD is here.

Well, i hate everything being laid out in the documents folder, we should be given the option to place all the files in the same directory where Documents folder is, or at least a little more customization to how the layout of folders are.
