Help me set up use cases

Submitted by pasuperdude on March 14, 2019 - 9:49pm

Dear all,
Could you help me set up these following use cases please?

1. On a multi-user environment, if I install PortableApps (PA) for all users, does PA create different user profile/setting for each user?
In particular for Chrome, should I install regular Chrome or in PA, so that each user shall have a distinct profile?

Need help portablizing Caves of Qud for personal use

Submitted by xxxan00bisxxx on March 14, 2019 - 12:49pm

Basically, to make the steam version of Caves of Qud portable, all you need to do is knock out the steamapi.dll and use the commandline parameter -savesomethingorother with a location. / will start at the root of the current drive. The trouble is, I'd like to register the bat file, or possibly even cmd, with the start menu so that I can launch it directly from portable apps menu. Please help.

Google Chrome: how to save user data in the Portable App folder?

Submitted by magnum2000 on March 14, 2019 - 9:47am

Hi All,
I have installed Google Chrome portable on a BitLocker drive protected by password to avoid users not authorized (i have a domain PC) to access my Google session with all saved password.
Even if the App is installed as portable, seems that all users data and customizations are saved in local AppData folder in Windows.
So if a user access to my Windows session and install a standard version of Google Chrome, it automatically has all my saved data.

It's possible to completely isolate Chrome in the portable folder?

Thanks

Block Windows Group policies on a FireFox Portable App

Submitted by braben on March 3, 2019 - 3:07pm

Hello,

I am looking for an option so our Windows FireFox Group Policy in Windows Active Directory does NOT affect/influence our Portable App (the latest version) in Windows 8.1
At this time it realy does...

Does this exists? I am NOT looking for on option on the properties off the GPO in Windows Active Directory. I already discussed this with our GPO experts ( in Enterprise of 30000 workstaions)

With kind regards, Ben
