Is it possible? What is the way to do it?

By the way how can I search the forum?

I was having problems with my 3 year old USB 2 Patriot Rage Xporter connecting to the computer, here is what was causing the problem. It blew me away. I never knew this could have happen.

Hi everyone,

Any idea how to create a new profile for Thunderbird portable? I know how to do it for Thunderbird on my PC,[ thunderbird.exe -profilemanager ] but no idea how to access profile manager on Portable Apps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

This directory: "\App\DefaultData" is changing (overriding) after update the portable app?

I am thinking to copy all files of "\Data" directory to "\App\DefaultData". So If someone will change my app settings, I can bring back my own default (old) settings by removing "\Data" directory? Is that possible?

Thank you!

Hi I really need to be able to run two instances of firefox portable, one that is an older version of firefox which I can skin to look like internet explorer, and another that is the latest version which is demand to view some websites.

If I make a copy of the portable and and try and run it again is say one instance is already running.

I have tried renaming .exe's etc to no avail, it still says it is already running with the first instance.

Can anyone advise if its possible to get two instances running and how I might do it.

I just signed up, and was hoping to get some direction on a travel app we want to develope. Is this the right forum for that?
The app is a travel app, which would have locations of restaurants, gas stations, hotels, equine centers and the like. Where do I start?
Is there software out there that is available to me that if I want the location of a hotel in Redding Calif, It would give me all the hotels in and around Redding? or if I wanted to find the nearest Diesle truck shop in Nampa Idaho it would do the same?
I didn't know where to start, so here I am
Any guidence is appreciated!

I am a new user. I work at a company with open windows 7 machines all over a large retail space. They are locked down fairly tightly. Portable apps have been a godsend for working arround the restrictions put in place to do my job and help my customers.

I have an iphone4s and tried downloading minecraft free version and it won't save each session i play, anyone tried this app before?

We've recently run into the question of whether we should allow nagware here at PortableApps.com. Nagware are apps that are free but will nag you about registering or purchasing the full version at every launch. We're not talking about a single entry in a menu with a link to the professional version, but a nag that you have to dismiss over and over.

I use Thunderbird, and my contacts and calendar sync to a Google GMail account. But GMail can't access external addresses via IMAP, only POP. I can use web2mail.com to get email but the interface sucks and I can't see my contacts or calendar.

Ideally I want a browser-based version of Thunderbird that accesses contacts and calendar from Google (which is synced from my desktop). Not sure if that is possible.

When I'm away from my desktop and have to access my e-mail, it may be on a public computer and I may not remember to carry a flash drive around with me everywhere.
