How can I backup my custom categories between installs?

Submitted by gs455 on November 24, 2025 - 3:14pm

I have modified my menu for quick retrieval by creating some custom categories and categorizing apps Ive downloaded underneath them, like so: https://imgur.com/a/k2Anhbu

When I did the backup and retrieved my portableapps on a new PC build the custom categories were not there. Can someone tell me how I can maintain my custom menu and also the categorization I give to each app?

Right Click Default

Submitted by Sirmadsen on October 8, 2025 - 1:06am

Hi,

Is there any way to make right click the default way to interact with portableapps taskbar icon?

I use several monitors and for some reason the left click window is having trouble staying on my main screen after a reboot. I also just enjoy the simple right click menu more.

Can I change some settings file somehow?

But why not just use right click?
- Muscle memory, left click is the way to go.
