Just curious if its possible to map the PA Documents folder to my SkyDrive (C:\Users\username\SkyDrive) while also keeping local copies just in case I don't have internet access? This would be impractical if I used many different computers with many different account names. But, I'm only using two machines (work and home) and have my user name the same on both so there should not be a mapping issue. The reason I ask is because I save everything to my thumbdrive and then do dumps over to my Skydrive for backup.

How do you change the portable apps platform's menu title. By default is says "PortableApps.com" and has a logo, but I'd like to customize it like this: https://portableapps.com/files/images/elements/customusb/custom_menu.jpg

I have looked through all of the files in the portable apps folder, but I've been unable to find the image that is the current title.

Any help would be appreciated!

I was running a rootkit scan after dealing with a PUP continuing to reinstall itself and it reported a folder in my PortableApps drive called PortableAppsox that is hidden from Windows.

Hi all,

Ideas or instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello.
Is there any possibility to launch *.lnk files referring to windows installed applications from portableapps platform? I'd like to integrate portableapps starter and windows menu start to one unit and it could be a grate alternative for modern windows (like 8 and 8.1) to have a one starting menu with portable applications and locally installed windows applications, if there will be a possible to execute shortcuts from portableapps platform.

So , i came across this

I live it, nice program used chrome its works great BUT have not logged in with my master account, which has my bookmarks extensions, passwords etc

How do i know if Google Chrome Portable app is Backdoored? or has a slient trojen. Since its pure open source?

Who makes these apps?
Where do they come from?
Why cant i update the app - When i go google settings it says error on update

Thank You
