General Discussion

NOTE: I'm working on a firm policy against self-promotional postings to try to avoid instances like the AppOnKey guy that was spamming the forums. I'd like some thoughts and opinions on the following. THANKS!

Please be aware that self-promotional postings are NOT permitted. The goal of this site isn't to let everyone promote their own products or sites. There are a few exceptions, though:

1. If someone asks a question that is directly relevant to your product then it makes perfect sense to chime in. Examples would be questions or comments about your product directly... or someone asking if anyone knows of a good product that does X and your product happens to do X.

Does anybody know of a migo free alternative? I like the fact that you can take your desktop background with you. Thanks.

For those interested: I have uploaded some fantasy backgrounds for Pstart. These backgrounds were already sized for Yahoo! Messenger 5.0 and below, so they should fit quite nicely. Link is in this post:

Well kind of.
Download Launchy to open (Portable)Thunderbird/Nvu/K-melon/... (more on download page)
I (might) be able to get a launchy.xml file up soon for the Portable Apps.

EDIT 3: Much better version posted later on at https://portableapps.com/node/639#comment-2238

EDIT: Updated scripts, fully working with autorun and no dos boxes are in my reply below.

EDIT 2: This doesn't work from a limited account, but doesn't cause any problems, it just won't automatically unmount if you aren't an administrator.

What is the difference between U3 and regular USB flash drives?

I'm thinking of getting a new one, so should I go for U3?

Well tomorrow I head back to school armed with only my head... and of course my Portable Apps filled Usb.
Will use Pfx to convince teachers to switch

Hey..
I'm wondering.
What's the difference if I put Portable Firefox from U3, and if I took portable firefox from this site?

Don't really understand the difference.

I am in love with your portable applications, especially firefox and openoffice. I keep unzipping them to computers where I'm not an administrator (ie school library computers). I love the fact that I can use openoffice in a university library that is in love with microsoft.

I was wondering whether you are planning to port them to linux. I would love to share the same firefox -themes, extensions, and bookmarks- (and use new openoffice without installation as my distro has the buggy beta) both in my desktop and laptop without screwing around.

thanks for the stuff. kicks a**!

PS. I found a couple of forum topics that suggest a portable linux (DSL) and one with no replies that asks the same thing.

Hi, I'm using the suite (great idea - thanks!).

What should I do when the app prompts to upgrade. At the moment I'm not upgrading because I fear it will install the full version instead of the portable.
