Rewriting the PortableApps.com Platform with Web Technologies

Something that I've begun to do recently is writing my applications in web technologies with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The reason for this is that it has many benefits, cross-platform being a big one. However, it wasn't the biggest one that I saw. Maintainability and ease of development were the biggest. The code-base for my apps would stay very simple and easy to understand to any web developer. Changes could be made very easily and quickly given HTML's dynamic capabilities.

Platform redesigned

Dear Mr.John
Is it possible for the platform to be resigned so that it would open in full screen mode and the apps arranged to appear like icons in a windows desktop?. This might in fact act like a Portable Desktop Environment.Hope u will consider the suggestion
with regards

SOLVED: Crashed cleanup dialog by clean close on shutdown/logoff (AHK script)

This AHK script solves the following. apparently long-standing, problem:

___________________________________________________

"[...] did not close properly last time it was run and will now clean up. Please then start [...] again manually."

This is the message I get after restarting my PC and opening some apps. I know the problem is that I let Windows close the apps when I shut down my computer and it doesn't occur if I close the apps manually before the shutdown. But this isn't very cool because I often have 4 or 5 apps open.
