Sometimes, I must edit hosts file that necessary to access website.
But I use different computer and I don't want to edit each computer.
I install Chrome portableApp in my USB flash drive, Is there any way to not edit computer local hosts file and access website?
How do you configuration portableApps to use hosts file in USB flash drive? Chrome or Firefox.

I have just started to use firefox 4.

I am having trouble getting roboform to install to firefox 4 portable only, it wants to be present on an installed version of firefox.

Does anyone know how i can get it into the portable version only?

Are there certain files that I can just copy over?

USB Drive Speed Tester

I searched for something to test my USB Drives and found the following article:

I am using CrystalDiskMark3 and I love it. (available for Win7 64bit and Portable!)

It is specifically for drives to test read/write speeds.

Simple and easy to use. It allows me to copy the results to notepad.
It will run a test file size of 50MB to 4GB form 1 to 5 times for average speed.

So every time I plug my iPod on the computer it automatically backs the iPod, it also gives you the choice to cancel it. Do you guys think it will work on the platform?

I seem to have lost my calendars in Sunbird somehow, I suspect by trying to sync PortableApps to my desktop and maybe it went in the wrong direction or something. In any case, they seem to be completely unretrievable. I have been very happy with using PortableApps, particularly Sunbird and the browser-based mail in Opera. What I would like to know is what is the best way to back up the whole PortableApps file to another drive, such as my regular desktop hard drive (I have PortableApps on a portable hard drive because I frequently use different computers).

Hi,

Is there a way to run Firefox and Private browsing together without defeating its purpose of being private?

Thanks

Updating Google Chrome Portable(10) to Google Chrome Portable(11)create error "reinstall application may resolve problem".
Then I try install https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/GoogleChromePortable_11.0...
run
same error too.
And now I can't use that browser. Any body else have this problem ?
What I should to do to get that browser work ?
Needed to compare with another browser.
Just another newbie here .

I write to inquire if one can install windows apps other than the default apps shown on this website. I would want to install some windows developer apps to a USB. Seeking an informed opinion. Much thanks as I await a reply.

Assuming that
1 the 2.0 preview launches in the next few days
2 John decides to make some noise when the 2.0 preview does launch

What do Y'all think about having a party on Friday to celebrate the launch??

(or should the party wait until 2.0 goes GOLD?)

I can't stand how Firefox portable freezes. Drives me crazy. I think I am going to go wit this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Edp... for an alternative. Has to be smoother/faster.
