What is the required process to change my user name for this site?

Hello everyone½!
This might seem like a stupid question, but my late mother told me there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers, and if you don´t ask, you never get the answer. Is it possible to use my USB-drive with portable apps on my Androidtablet, or does it only work with a "real" computer?

That is the question.

And what is the alternative if any?

I receive a pop-up when I want to start Google Chrome, ERROR: chrome.exe could not be found

Isn't the correct file to start Chrome GoogleChromePortable.exe?
Reinstalling doesn't change anything.

All other apps within running fine.

Any tips most welcome.

ok so i post it here cause idk where it fit better

my question and request is about program called antimicro
which in short of it is gamepad profiler (bind keyboard/mouse buttons/actions to gamepad buttons)

so in other words you can setup your gamepad to games that dont even have gamepad support and all that inside antimicro profile with no game modification

so you can leave game with default buttons and have customized them in antimicro game profile

in short of it it does exact same thing as xpadder do
with the fact antimicro is FREE

and here is my question

Hello.

How do I downgrade skype? I have few installers for old skype versions. How do I make them PAF-compatible?

InnoExtractor

"Extract data from any Inno Setup installer"

InnoExtractor is a powerful tool that you can use to extract the internal files of Inno Setup installers and more.

The application can be useful if you don't have administrative privileges to run a setup pack, for example. It does not have a wide range of features available, but InnoExtractor can be easily figured out, even by less skilled users.

GnuCash 2.6.1 (current PA version) has date bugs.

*These are non-trivial*

GnuCash 2.6.2 has been released at
http://www.gnucash.org/
in part to fix these problems (see the release notes) and I have been forced / chose to use that instead of the PA version for my finances to make sense. I am OK as I use both as an occasional developer / tester.

Request: could the PA / GnuCash maintainer treat this as a "more than normal" update on behalf of others that aren't used to switching between standard and portable.

So are all PortableApps.com apps "stealthy" meaning that they leave behind no cache or any traces of the app's usage on a computer after they are closed? And that if they do leave cache it would be in the same folder as the installation directory which is presumably on the flash drive?

That's the philosophy PortableApps has, but does that mean apps with its extension and apps submitted on the site by developers all follow this philosophy?

Minor version updates cover major version downloads. It might seem like doing us a favor as the latest version supposedly has the latest fixes. But what happens in the Firefox situation is, AddOns break with the minor update. Wanting working AddOns back one tries to download the previous version only to find it's gone.

One may say "save the old installer." But if you use Update from the Firefox Help menu you don't get an installer. It updates with no way to back it off.
