General Discussion

OK, people have been calling for a wiki for a while now. But a wiki isn't exactly what we need. What we need is a knowledge base, a collection of articles about things like false positives and apps that can't be made portable.

Hi,
Any idea on how we can block access to the USB drive on my PC.

I know we can change the registry settings but that wont solve the problem as it can be changed back by other user.

Is there any portable app or open source software or freeware available to help me out.

Thanks in adavance!

If I were to make a "suite" or something, I don't know, could I redistribute the launcher from here, but remove firefox, and make the installer download firefox (the original) from the web and extract it to the folder. Or, if I can't do that, can I just make an installer download the whole firefox portable installer and just make it extract that?

I am new to this forum and to the subject at hand. Please excuse my basic understanding of the deployment of a portable app vs. an OS.

1. Can you have both a linux OS and portable apps on a USB?
2. Can a USB be partitioned to carry both an OS and portable apps and able to boot or access one or the other?

As a traveler, I sometimes do not have access to a pc where I have admin rights to run an OS, i.e. linux w/apps installed that boots USB at startup. Would portable apps solve this problem?

I just noticed the new badges and wanted to share my thoughts about them:

I think they are good because they distinguish between Admins and normal users. So people know a little bit about the rank/reputation/knowledge of the person responding to their posts. Other forums have that too where you earn stars or something depending on your number of posts and I like it.

How about the 2.0.2 upgrade installer...Has it come out yet?

Hey guys,

When testing apps, please manually pair down your regshots to just the pertinent information before posting. If you need to post a large regshot, please pastebin.com it and link to it rather than enclosing it in PRE tags. This huge regshot caused our site search indexer to hang. The bug has been reported, but it makes sense to avoid these huge posts anyway.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I just want to know if this program is already considered portable as long as I use the JAVA portable to run it.

I've downloaded the JAR file and it seems to install in a "contained" directory.

Link of the program is as below:

Any advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks
