General Discussion

Sorry if this is already answered, I had a look around but I couldent see anything.
Is it possible to install the portable apps menu/programs to, for example, K:\Portable Apps instead of the root of K:\? I want to use my USB Stick for a portable Linux OS (PCLinuxOS) and I know that needs to be in root so i can boot but its makes it harded to find the portable apps launcher.
Any help would be much appreciated.

If you are looking at e-learning eXe is a nice little e-learning content generator which works rather well as a portable app. It is relatively new but is maturing very well and usuable without having any knowledge of the underlying API or XML manifests.

It will export in a few formats (SCORM 1.2, IMS content package, HTML, plain text and i-pod notes) which makes the modules created quite flexible. It is also very good at reusing 'modules' so you can export or import pre-built chunks of content.

I am curious as to the possibility of completely removing all traces of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express from Windows now that I am 100% using Portable Firefox and Portable Thunderbird. I am avid user of nLite and was thinking I could completely remove both programs from the install now. The caveat to that would be if either of the above programs still need some of the functionality of IE or OE to work. I mean I would doubt it, but I suppose it would be possible. Normally some shred of IE is left because of Autoupdates, but that is now taken care of by Windiz.

Hi, I've been using PortableApps for a couple of months now and wanted to add advocacy buttons (similar to the one for Firefox 2 at the bottom of these forums) to my email signature and blog and couldn't find one anywhere. The closest I could get was a simple rectangular image that someone obviously just cropped from the PortableApps site's banner.
Has anyone made any other images for that purpose? Specifically something close in shape and size to the FF one?

When I use my flash drive with PortableApps on my Desktop PC, The menu looks just fine. But when I use it on my laptop (both using Windows XP) then the menu shows up like this http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b338/JimboJangles/ProtableAppsError.jpg
Any Help?

Does anybody know any portable analogue of this program, that gives the ability to control remote computer via web?

Looking forward to more creative Themes for the PA menu. Have customized a couple for my own use via Photoshop. Would like the ability to change menu text color if possible as it would give me more background color combination choices. Keep up the good work and thanks.

This is my first post. Any help would be appreciated.

I use my Kingston USB drive with Portable Apps to run Thunderbird and Firefox.

I{ll use them for a few minutes. Then I have to leave so I quit all appliacations and the Portable Apps application. But I can{t eject the drive yet because data is being written back to the drive. The little LED on the drive blinks for 4 full minutes before Windows says it{s safe to remove it.

It seems like each time I use the drive, it takes a few seconds longer to quit.

Hi all,

firstly, thanks a million to the portable apps creator(s), fantastic tool which I can no longer live without

My issues, are as follows:

* I have downloaded a couple of new portable app menu themes, how can i install these? I searched the files and located (under portable apps-portableappmenu-) an icons folder, however no theme folder....??
