General Discussion

Today I opened FireFox & was immediately informed there was an update availabe. I am wondering if this update is from Mozilla or from portable apps. Can anyone say how we should do these? I have looked over the portable apps site but did not find the info listed.

I have been reading with interest the continuing saga of the Stuxnet worm. It seems the new transmission method of choice is spreading Worms/Trojans using Flash drives. I was infected from an Apple with the Boot13 worm and I was frankly surprised at how easily it got me. I was also surprised how hard it was to remove.

Yesterday I installed the a Truecrypt Traveler and Portable Apps
platform on m Sandisk Cruzer U3 Flash Drive. I have a few questions
about proper configuration as well as some comments.

1.) The autoloader for the Truecrypt Traveler password screen loads
on insert on our Windows XP machines at work, but does not load on
my Windows 7 machine at home. On Windows 7 I get an Options
menu which may mean that teh OS is somehow circumventing the
auto load feature on the Truecrypt Traveler. Do you know of a way of
getting Windows 7 to recognize the autoloader?

Hi all,

I just search the forum and found some entries concerning RSS feed not updating automatically. But there was no solution so far. It's some days ago I started to add the portableapps.com RSS feed. If I reload the feed dynamic manually all works fine. But it's not downloded automatically. I've several other feeds that all work (checked it with wireshark).

I'm using the latest version of FF 3.6.10 on 2 different boxes with 2 different OS (XP and Win7) seeing the same behaviour.

Is there a solution?

Thanks.

I want to learn about computer and technology and science.

Is it possible to add shortcuts to the suite's start menu for programs not packaged by PortableApps?

I'd like to be able to launch Transcendence and some other programs from my pocket drive from the suite instead of digging through files to get to the exe. I don't have the knowhow to make my own apps.

Ok here is my situation and what I mean by the title.

I have a friend and a family member that like me use Pidgin. Both of them are not very techy and guiding them step by step on how to download, install and activate plugins for pidgin can sometimes be a nightmare. I have even written the steps-by-steps on a TiddlyWiki for them to have access to even without having to access the web, and they still do it wrong.

Everytime I start Windows I have to do this tedious work:
1) Start Pageant.exe
2) Add a key to pageant (locate file, choose it, key in password. Enter)
3) Start Putty.exe
4) Select, Load and open the session needed.

Puh!!

Just wonder if someone has bothered to find a way to automate this, but haven't been able to locate a solution. Most threads are 2-3-4 years old, so seemingly no-one is any longer logging in to their servers using SSH!?

i would like too protect my key with a password
do you no an apps for this

Not sure if this is the right category to post into, but I have done some homework on this issue....help! ok.

I need a bootable menu for a usb device holding all bootable[only] applications, like OSs et al.

Please advise of ~ easiest solution to this. I have problems with command lines and using cmd lines trying to set this up. Looked at Grub4dos, but, still no better.

hopefully, Thanks
