General Discussion

Hey guys,
My first post

Sorry I know this has been discussed endlessly and it's clear that a hardware based USB stick is the way to go if you want secure, encrypted portable app mobility.

But my question is 'Which to go for'?
As I'm likely to be spending good money of one I need to make sure it's the right one.
At present I've got 2 listed:
Kingston Datatraveler Secure
Ironkey (not happy with the built in Firefox)

Hello,

How can I have my thumb drive require a password before allowing access? (I used to use a u3 thumb drive and it was set up that way.)

Basically I am looking to make my entire drive un-accessable without a password.

Ideally I would like to make just portions of it protected but that might be more difficult?

Thanks for your help.

So snapfiles.com even has a special "Handy Programs to put on a USB" section, but PA isn't there? I've contacted them several times with no response. Just thought it'd be a good place to list the suite, no?

Hey folks.

I find the Portable Apps very handy and convenient, thank you. However, I have a list of about 15 apps that scroll in the launcher list. Is there a method for me to create a folder called "utilities" and put certain apps in there and the same for "office" and "etc".

Please if anyone knows a way to create folders to better organize my portable apps I'd be very much appericative.

Thanks,
Avery

which is better? im new to both because i use windows live. which is better - please give specific reasons and features.

I just downloaded the installer for assault cube and it looks like i was going to install a normal application.

If both of the programs were free or priced the same, which one would you rather get?

Some extensions of my Firefox Portable generate on itself some output or store files on disc, i.e.: InfoListener, Scrapbook.
They have appropriate configuration settings in order to determine where the files are to be stored.
These settings should work on each host PC.
While editing the setting with about:config one can enter absolute path.
How the relative path should look ?

john, it looks like the custom forum icons weren't put back in place after an upgrade: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=mujahdyywmn&thumb=5
