How to remove the "portableapps.com" and logo from the bottom right hand corner of the menu?

Submitted by justforfun47 on April 27, 2015 - 8:50pm

How to remove the "portableapps.com" and logo from the bottom right hand corner of the menu? I can't give presentations at University with advertising on it - made the mistake of unwittingly doing this before and got a scolding from my lecturer.

Also, is there any way to change the taskbar icon (the grey arrow logo) - I would enjoy a slightly tidier one.

Thanks,

Sync-program as fast as FreeFileSync?

Submitted by Dirki on April 27, 2015 - 3:47pm

Is there a sync-program being as fast and reliable as FreeFileSync having not less options?

I have tried the other PortApps sync programs, but they seem to be much more slower than FFS. E.g. Synkron looks very good, I have tried it over the last years a few times, but it always runs very slowy and unstable on my system. After starting a compare, sync or analysis the view becomes milky nothing seems to happen and after minutes a result is shown or you can see it running.

Portable program to manage drives like Treesize?

Submitted by Dirki on April 25, 2015 - 3:21pm

Is there a portable (fast) program to make catalogs / lists / an image of the file names and folders (not of their content) of external drives / hard disks like Treesize? So when those drives are not plugged in I could see their files / folders in such a program.

I have search for days and tried many programs, but none of them where useful, "Locate" included, "IndexYourFiles" also.

The Carbide

Submitted by theboy181 on April 24, 2015 - 6:15pm

I just wanted to warn people about the Carbide.

I bought the 32 gig version, and setup a new pass code. I must of guessed the wrong code more than 10 times, and the device got wiped.

I finally figured out that I needed to set a code longer than 4 digits, and this is why it deleted the pre-installed data.

So after setting the device up again, I get the solid RED (LOCKED) led again. This time I have no clue what caused it. I don't have time for this.

Right side Icons not working

Submitted by Manly1138 on April 19, 2015 - 6:41pm

I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to fix this.
The Explore and Documents icons are the only ones working on the right side app icons. Music, Pictures, and Videos do not open a directory.
I think a few years ago I had moved those three directories from the root of my flash drive to underneath the Documents directory. I have now moved them back under the root or recreated them back under the root of my portable apps drive.
