According to the info Portable Apps
A portable app doesn't leave files or folders behind on the PC
A portable app doesn't leave registry entries behind except those automatically generated by Windows

My question is what is the benefit of something like Portable Iron? Since most PC come with either Firefox, Chrome or Explorer adding another browser would show up in the registry.

Hey, is there some app I am not seeing that will help me categorize say, DVD's maybe sorted by Genre or alphabetize or anything like this ? or do I just make my own little txt or doc ?

Is there a way to redirect the folder buttons on the side of the UI (Documents, Music, Video, etc.) to another place?

For example, I recently installed PortableApps on an external HDD that I use to back up my "My ____" folders on my Desktop.

Instead of pointing to G:\Apps\Documents and G:\Apps\Music (as they do now), it would make my life immeasurably easier if I could direct the buttons in the program to G:\Documents and G:\Music.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hello, I stumbled some apps like this one in the past. The big question is, is it possible to run them via Java Portable Launcher. So far I have been unable to do so. To name some portable java apps packaged as executables: DocFetcher, TVBrowser (which is I recap correctly is hosted in Sourceforge, hence opensource?)

I'm just wondering: The main office should have more volunteers, employees, and assistants, jut like big companies. You should hire them from your city which you live. That way, it can release more apps faster.

For YEARS we have been in need of a open-source portable torrent-client .
Well, the walk in the desert is over !

This SOLVES the problem that prevented Azureus from going PAF for years :
Az used to save the absolute path of running torrents,
pretty bloody useless for our purpose !

Combined with the portable Java, compressed with 'The Tool' (or even better 'K-jar')
and stripped of all the fat (the files that aren't really required, as described in one of the .txt-files inside java)
this makes for one serious portable torrent-client !!

Stuff like Release Team Recruitment, Translators, and all the ways to contribute to PortableApps should be linked from the main front page for extra visibility. Maybe something like How to Contribute to PortableApps? or How to be part of? or Join... or Get involved aka Mozilla, that links to a page which lists all the ways to contribute pointing to developers and users.

My attempt to convert GnuCash Portable to U3 using PackageFactory for U3 is
not working. Is it possible to do this?

Prior to the introduction of new platform, new apps were highlighted in a list as they became available. Currently, however, I can find no way to identify a new app. Obvioulsy when I click on "Get More Apps" I am presented with the Portable Apps Directory which lists all available apps other than the ones I have already installed. But there is no apparent way to distinguish apps that have been recently added from those that have been in the list for some time. Am I overlooking something or is this a feature that needs to be submitted as a future enhancement? Thanks. --B. Lewis

Does anyone know if there is a portable app available for the Time and Chaos "Intellect" contact manager ?
