Can you writeup a status update when you get a chance??
Even if its a still working thing the last posting is almost a month old.

BTW will there be a way to buy a bulk lot of PA.c drives??

Hi there. Am looking for a drive protector for my USB drives.
I enjoyed Launchpad from U3, which is no longer available even for newer Sandisk drives. When you inserted it, it prompted you for a password. I have tried SecureAccess. Too difficult to set up and in my opinion, it's cumbersome to work with a vault, etc.
Is there anything similar to LaunchPad from U3 available in a generic form for ANY thumb drive? Would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks.

Congrats all! PA.c just broke into the top 25 projects on SF.net! Keep it up John, Chris and everyone else!

Now, we can only sort the apps with A-Z, but this is not user-friendly since the way is too mess for me.

Is it possible to sort the apps by my self without adding 1,2,3 in front of the name of the apps?

Sometimes, there are some apps are in series or not in series, however, users may want to organize the apps in a folder like Windows' menu.

Then, is it possible to adopt folder in the menu?

For example, I want to set up a folder called Mozilla to store Firefox and Thunderbird. Or maybe I would like to put different notepads together.

Therefore, I think folder maybe useful about the menu.

False positive OR is there a genuine problem with Eraser.exe because HITMAN PRO just told me it may be an infection and my AV says it's a Trojan/Win32.Patched.gen.

I am working on a script [AHK] to perform various options to overcome the loss due to
Microsoft's upgrade.

I like PortableApps and will have it load on insertion not just show a folder. It does mean disabling Autorun for the usb in question. I have a flash disinfector folder on the usb drive so although the Computer recognizes the drive it does not react. I run this script and have a Action.txt file on the drive that has the commands. Only run at present. It replaces autorun.inf

If anyone wants to try it I will make it available for further suggestions etc

Hello!

How do I get the PortableApps Icon for the Menu to appear and stay in the System Tray?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

i play a game called dwarf fortress
it's kind of addictive
and i've found that by default, it doesn't install anything to the computer registry
just makes a folder and puts all the files there
and i thought "hmm, i wonder if this will run from USB?" so i tried it and it worked
so i added it into my portableapps suite and it works great!

the link is
Dwarf Fortress @ bay12games

enjoy!

this may even cause a future between PA and bay12

Is there a way to have the MD5sums of the various installers (those that are full installers not preloaders) and a way to confirm the sums are correct to prevent
%App% download is corrupt type problems?
