radiosure cheat

Submitted by cailsum on April 22, 2012 - 9:27pm

radiosure failed to install so i opened up a new folder, (name it Radiosure) under 'Explore' copy and install it there, upon install tick 'install as a portable' direct it to instal into the folder you just created. Thats it, go into the folder and create a shortcut from the 'Radiosure application' then simply cut/copy/paste the shortcut in the music folder. But if anybody can perfect this app plz notify me Smile

Portables on CD

Submitted by Green Tortoise on April 22, 2012 - 8:40pm

There is not much in the archives on using portables on CDs to prevent removable media from becoming infected. Is there a complete list of portables that function on CDs? To clarify, I do not mean live Linux CDs that need to be booted. I mean portable apps on CDs on public computers that I cannot change the boot sequence in the BIOS to enable them to boot to an USB or CD-ROM.

Are portables functional on write protected flashdrive or SD card?

Submitted by Green Tortoise on April 22, 2012 - 5:00pm

My removable media including external hard drives and MP3 players became infected with several malware including conflicker and AMVO. I have not been able to remove it. I purchase a write protected Kanguru flashdrive and a write protected SD card. Are portables functional when the write protection is on?

Are live bootable Linux ISO on flashdrives and SD cards functional when the write protection is on?

Thoughts on File Associations

I wanted to ask everybody a quick question about file associations. At first, I was planning on having each app only list associations for what it associates itself with locally or what can be associated within the app itself (if it has a 'register filetypes' function internally), as that seems to best duplicate the functionality you get from a local app.

PortableApps Start Utility -- INCLUDES FONTS!

Submitted by maxpowa on April 18, 2012 - 4:51pm

Make installing fonts easier! -- This utility copies fonts from the Documents\Fonts folder before PortableApps starts up. Just a quick batch file, it will make the Fonts folder if it doesn't exist. Just copies every time, so if you have many fonts you'd probably only want to run this once and a while.

NOT INTENDED TO BE SELF PROMOTIONAL - Its just a simple utility that I thought would be good for the general public.

PortableApps Eject Idea!

Submitted by fieldview on April 17, 2012 - 4:32pm

I had an idea that i think might be useful for others related to ejecting the drive.
I was wondering if it would be possible to make it that when ejecting the portableapps drive, that it prompts to end all task/processes related to the portableapps drive so there will be no problems regarding ejecting drives and then we could choose wether or not to end the processes.

If this has been discussed on the forum please link me and I will delete this post.

I have been trying TeamViewer PortableApps and I tell you, this thing is far from portable, its no different than the so called portable TeamViewer they offer on TeamViewer.com (Which sucks), it writes to AppData, registry and who knows where else!

Can someone clarify this please?

utorrent 3.1.3

Submitted by kimunlimited on April 7, 2012 - 9:19am

I don't have a good connection of wifi on my laptop so I go to the cafe and rent a computer to download torrent into my portable HDD using utorrent portable. All is well until the update for 3.1.3 arrives. It doesn't seem to retain any data of the previous session and always ask me to install. When I return to the shop I see the utorrent empty of loaded torrents I was seeding last time which is frustrating since I need to reload it again and some files are too large it takes time.

The cafe has a deepfreeze so data from the last user before shutdown isn't retain.

How do I cure this?
