Portable clipboard?

Submitted by Keith Warner on December 24, 2007 - 3:09am

I found a nice toy for my Windows called '101 Clips' that expands the clipboard from a ridiculous 1 item to 25. Is there such a thing as an add-on that does the same for Firefox Portable when plugged in to a 'crippled' host computer.

Thanks

Portable Application Template (all versions) BUG!?

Submitted by andyvu on December 22, 2007 - 1:06pm

i've been tested PortableApplicationTemplate of all versions (even the latest 2.5)

.EXE start correctly but REGISTRY not wokring when .exe have a space between, it works when i rename it (remove EXE name space)

An Example:

WINAVI MP4 CONVERTER.EXE (this don't work because the original EXE has a space between the words)

the program startup fine but the REGISTRY do nothing no matter how i set REGKEY file in datadir. BUT!!! everything works just like other apps when i change the exe filename to: WINAVIMP4CONVERTER.EXE

Partition Chip

OK, I know this can be done but HOW????

Background:

I had a U3 4g chip for two years and loved it, most of the time. Best part was that I could password protect it. OK, I know that it is perhaps possible to crack that, but for 99.99 percent of people who found it that would not be a worry.

Unfortunatly it got zapped and as I needed a bigger drive anyway I got a nice new 8g chip. Unfortunatly I could not find a U3 one. Hence I have come over to the portable apps side of things, and quite like it, especially the openness of it.

portableapps registry?

Submitted by FoxxEnoch on December 20, 2007 - 2:10pm

Okay so I was surfing the net the other day and I came across something called Creedo. Its kind of like the portableapps menu but it has a really big difference. Its like it was built around sandboxies source or something, because inside its folder it has another folder set up like the average C drive (program files, etc.), but the really cool part is that you can install non portable applications with it, and their reg settings are redirected into the portable registry. Then when you run the program, it comes up with a colored border, and pound symbols before and after the name.
