General Discussion

I downloaded and was using PortableApps.com in the form of Google Chrome browser. I recently deleted it. Meanwhile, when I click on "My Computer" my primary drive is now labeled "PortableApps.com" and the hard drive icon is now a USB Flash icon. How do I get rid of the "portableApps.com" label, renaming it to "Local Disk C:" or "C:" and restore the C: drive icon to its original/default icon? I've done a search of all files, and a regedit. I tried renaming but when I try to delete the PortableApps.com label it renames itself to PortableApps.com, no matter what I try to rename it as.

My apologies if this isn't the correct place but I couldn't find a suitable area / PM anyone about it.

There is a misspelling / incorrect app name on the app page for Password Gorilla Portable located here (https://portableapps.com/apps/security/password-gorilla-portable). Under the "Support" header it states "For help getting KeePass Portable up and running ..." when it should read "For help getting Password Gorilla Portable up and running ..."

Hi All,

I need some help/tips on how to make a simple .NET program into a portable app. Take the example below:

[ScreenShot] http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1720/20121220150917.jpg

This was created using visual studio 2010. When i use the publish option, i get these installation files.

When I start my Platform, I always get an "access denied"-message from the platform, presumably because Avira blocks the Platform from checking the autorun.inf integrity.

Is there any way around that?

I know the platform wants to check the integrity and I like the feature, but its a bit cumbersome nevertheless to click the message away every time I start the Platform.

is there a way to download all the port in one large file?

- Install Comodo Dragon with the portable setting checked.
- Install Silverlight Plugin, e.g. when prompted by an attempt to Watch Instantly on Netflix.
- Copy Silverlight files (omitting all localization files [if you wish] and all *.exe and *.ni.dll files) to any_new_folder in Dragon's root directory.
- Uninstall Silverlight.
- Create a shortcut to launch Dragon and append " --load-plugin=./any_new_folder/npctrl.dll" (w/o quotes) to the shortcut's Target field in the Properties dialog under the Shortcut tab.

Does not allow logging in with an existant Microsoft Live account,
cause that login option is nowhere to be seen, unlike on the installer version

Some time ago i asked to Mediafour if this was a MacDrive problem, and it seems to be like that. Here is the link: http://forums.mediafour.com/forums/macdrive-9-pro-1/cant-install-extensi...

The administrator says that some executables need elevated permissions to run, and the only way to get them is using a Windows file system.

I also tried installing the platform on another more popular File System, so i used EXT4. The problem persist.

I've noticed that there's a new app on the main page called Wise Disk Cleaner Portable. I wanted to try it out and when i click on it to download it,(on the home page)it takes me here "https://portableapps.com/news/2012-12-13--wise-disk-cleaner-portable-7.6..." which is the correct link.

Hi,

I have a 16 GB Flash Drive with Portable Apps on and all the programs configured.

Question, Can I just copy (drag and drop) the contents of the drive to a new 32 GB Flash Drive?

Or do I have to install it from scratch?

Thank you.
