General Discussion

I would like to change my username in this site (privacy reasons).

Tried to look for a way to contact you in private to ask this but didn't find anything so i'm posting here.

If this is possible and if John or any other can help me i'd appreciate it.

Thanks

edit: the new name would be "mQ52cWaw"

I'm going to stick with my laptop for some months, so I decide to liberate my USB stick by running the Platform with my mostly used portable apps directly from local HDD. Will all data still be confined within the installation folder, leaving no traces elsewhere?
And question two, by the time I switch to another PC, if I simply copy the entire folder to the root of a USB stick and connect it to the new PC, will the Platfrm still work?
And just out of curiosity, what will happen if I click the eject button while running it from local drive?
Thaks in advance.

Hi,
I heard that Java was having some virus problems recently and wondered if it was safe to upgrade both local and portable versions to the latest versions or stay on a previous build. If someone could clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Which apps do you recommmend to begin a functional portable substitute. Thanks, I'm new to computers

Interesting.

I recently downloaded Jitsi Portable from sourceforge ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/jitsiportable/ ), unzipped it, and placed it into the PortableApps directory so I can (hopefully) launch it with the PortableApps.com Menu.

The main program directory contains the following 2 files involved in launching Jitsi Portable:

jitsi-non-portable.exe
jitsi-portable.bat

The batch file contains the following 2 lines:
start jitsi-non-portable.exe --config=./data
exit

I installed Total Commander portable. Now can I move it's menu item from where it installed to the "top level" menu? It installed and buried itself down a couple levels and I would like it readily accessible if possible.

Is it?

I posted this in the PortableApps.com Platform section but moved it here.

Im going to run my PA install from a separate partition on my main hard drive. So I need some suggestions.Not a long discussion since theres plenty of similar threads with differing information

1) Logical or Primary? Im guessing it needs to be logical right?
2) Fat, Fat32, or exFat (new xp plugin)->https://portableapps.com/node/18054
3) Best Cluster size?

As it is officially dead. Thank you.
