icon and label problem

Submitted by nomad103 on December 24, 2012 - 3:12pm

I downloaded and was using PortableApps.com in the form of Google Chrome browser. I recently deleted it. Meanwhile, when I click on "My Computer" my primary drive is now labeled "PortableApps.com" and the hard drive icon is now a USB Flash icon. How do I get rid of the "portableApps.com" label, renaming it to "Local Disk C:" or "C:" and restore the C: drive icon to its original/default icon? I've done a search of all files, and a regedit. I tried renaming but when I try to delete the PortableApps.com label it renames itself to PortableApps.com, no matter what I try to rename it as.

Misspelling on Password Gorilla Portable App Page

Submitted by ddrstreak on December 21, 2012 - 10:44am

My apologies if this isn't the correct place but I couldn't find a suitable area / PM anyone about it.

There is a misspelling / incorrect app name on the app page for Password Gorilla Portable located here (https://portableapps.com/apps/security/password-gorilla-portable). Under the "Support" header it states "For help getting KeePass Portable up and running ..." when it should read "For help getting Password Gorilla Portable up and running ..."

Avira in conjunction with autorun.inf

When I start my Platform, I always get an "access denied"-message from the platform, presumably because Avira blocks the Platform from checking the autorun.inf integrity.

Is there any way around that?

I know the platform wants to check the integrity and I like the feature, but its a bit cumbersome nevertheless to click the message away every time I start the Platform.

Comodo Dragon with Silverlight (Portable for Windows)

Submitted by bifurcatedpanda... on December 18, 2012 - 6:42pm

- Install Comodo Dragon with the portable setting checked.
- Install Silverlight Plugin, e.g. when prompted by an attempt to Watch Instantly on Netflix.
- Copy Silverlight files (omitting all localization files [if you wish] and all *.exe and *.ni.dll files) to any_new_folder in Dragon's root directory.
- Uninstall Silverlight.
- Create a shortcut to launch Dragon and append " --load-plugin=./any_new_folder/npctrl.dll" (w/o quotes) to the shortcut's Target field in the Properties dialog under the Shortcut tab.
