Some apps doesn't save settings

Hi.
This is happening to me only when moving or installing an app on a external drive.

For example:
- Install Firefox Portable on your hard disk.
- Run it and close it.
- After that copy it to your external drive and run it. The first time you do it all should be normal, but if you run it one more time it starts as the first time. It also asks me to predeterminate the browser, something that shouldn't happen.

The same is happening with Opera, but not with Google Chrome. You can also test it installing them directly on your external drive.

Folder Icons

Submitted by d1rkg3ntly on November 29, 2012 - 6:53pm

I'd like to add custom icons to some of the subfolders in my Documents folder, similar to the Music, Videos & Pictures folders. I know how to achieve this, but I'd like the icons to match the style of the Portable Apps built in folders, but I can't find the source for the icons that are used.

Password protect a USB drive with NO admin access?

Submitted by minicl55 on November 28, 2012 - 9:18pm

I'm trying to have an encrypted USB for my files at both work and school. I don't have any UAC access, but I do have everything else, cmd, viewing the registry, etc.

Is there any program that does not require to be installed to the host machine and doesn't require admin access? TrueCrypt needs admin access in order to run in portable mode, so that won't work.

HELP! How can I make this non-PAF app show up in the launcher?

Submitted by GameMakerFan on November 28, 2012 - 8:01pm

Hey, I just tried installing Maxthon, but the PAF version was down, so I got the one from their site. But the EXE's in a different location; the main folder has another set of folders inside it, and the EXE is located in one of those subfolders. Can I get an app that's laid out like to show up in the launcher menu? Thanks!
