General Discussion

G'day!
First time poster, short time lurker, long time user here.
I'm at a public library at the moment and I don't have long on this temporary computer.
Just a quick question here.
I love all the portable applications available and would like to get each and every single one of them.
I like the Portable Apps Standard Suite but I am somewhat disgruntled by the fact that it does not include all other applications like the ones listed here (https://portableapps.com/apps).

There is an issue with fancy "superbar" feature on windows 7.
I use Windows 7 build 7000 (beta 1).
Launcher and application showing as two buttons instead of one.

Is it possible to fix this in a future versions of launcher?

Hi,

I have a 8GB Kingston USB Stick but: wth if i loose the stick, forget it inside the workplace or if it get's stolen? Everyone can see my very sensitive data!

So here is my question: Do you know a USB Stick that asks for a Master Password if I stick it inside a foreign Computer? I know there are existing these Sandisk U3 Sticks, what exactly do they do? Maybe sb knows other solutions.

Happy Ney Year!

Hi,

I read that it is possible to install Win XP on a USB Stick but the stick will be destroyed after a several boots because it only allows 100000 or 1000000 writing / reading sessions (?)
So here is my question: Does it make sense to install portable apps and use it as an portable office without destroying the stick and consequently loosing the files on it ?

ty and take care

I hope that there is CD and/or DVD version of PortableApps.com Suite and Platform so that I can run it on CD/DVD.

I'm using the v2.0.0.20 version of hotmail portable but suddenly I can't seem to get hotmail to work properly. It logs onto my mailbox but won't open messages or folders. It tells me that it's loading but nothing happens.

anyone else come across this?

Is there any portable program that will let my sync portable apps with their desktop counterparts? This would be very helpful for apps like sunbird, or firefox.
Thanks!

I recently bought a new flash drive. It's a SanDisk Cruzer 8gig. It works great I've always liked SanDisk but I have noticed one problem with it. For some odd reason the size bar at the bottom of the PAM says bleh out of 7gigs. I'm kinda wondering why my flash drive is showing up as 7gigs rather than 8. Probably just a minor bug to be fixed in next release probably.

TrueCrypt volumes can be encrypted using the following algorithms:
Algorithm Designer(s) Key Size
(Bits) Block Size (Bits) Mode of Operation
