Is there a good portable screencast tool? What do people recommend?

I was a little surprised to log in today and see an add "Sweet Chinese Women Are Ready to Date U". If this had been an e-mail it would have ended up in the spam bucket. It seemed somehow inappropriate for this site.

I'm sorry to be such a dummy, but I don't see how it works.
Here is my objective:

We want to create a web app that can run on the web server software XAMPP on a Windows PC.

We want to distribute the app via USB Drive for use on computers with no (or very slow) internet capability.

I have created a test version on a USB drive with Chrome & XAMPP. When distributed to the end user, how do they access it? Assuming the USB drive is E: on the PC, does the users just type E:(path to app)?

After each update some settings are lost, e.g. "Multi-Instanc" and "Auto-Completion" switch back to default.

How could I avoid it?

Hi:

I've installed Inkscape and Ghostscript (both in portable versions) in a USB drive and I would like to know how can I link them in order to be able to open EPS with Inkscape.

Thanks in advance

I am looking for a strategy to run portable apps on all my workstations which run Linux. That includes ARM processors, such as the Raspberry Pi Version 2, an ARM V7 processor. That appears to mean running QEMU to emulate an Intel processor and then Wine on top of that to emulate Windows. Does anybody have any experience with that? I would be pleased to buy a Carbide drive if it came configured to run on both Intel and ARM processors and both Windows and Linux operations systems.

Thanks.

Does a portable Firefox (usually) create over 2, 3 millions or even more of temp files in 14 days on C:? They are not created in its program folder?

About 2 weeks ago I deleted over 2 millions temp files on C: and today I did again, about 2, 3 millions or even more.

Is there a program that automatically could delete these files?

These files were located somewhere here (there was an endless path, do not no why): C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten...

Thank you to the person that tidied up.

I don't mind the CAPTHCA but I'm puzzled why I get asked it *after* the spew rather than during it when It would, presumably, interrupt the vomit.

Hello! I made a replacement for the PortableApps.com Menu's default theme, to make it look more like Windows 8. To install it, extract the "Default" folder from the zip, and (after backing up the original,) move the folder to X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\Themes, and overwrite the original. The theme has most of the background colors replaced with ones that are closer to Windows 8, too, so be sure to check them all out! Other than the scroll icons, none of the icons are replaced.

Is there a
- portable &
- opensource
email client (apart from Thunderbird ...)?

I am searching desperately for
- a rather simple email app (sophistication level: Outlook Express)
- that I could adapt for my purposes, develop it further for future use etc.
- Something like Koma-Mail (which unfortunately isn't opensource) ...

... but until now without success.

Does anyone have a hot tip?
