hello to everyone, because I am a newcomer in the area of portable and is a time that decided to create my portable, but what I still do not know, and wanted a help of you.

Hiding the evidence: ClamWin's origins

Submitted by bobjohnson on August 10, 2008 - 1:38pm

I am unsure exactly where this should be posted as there is no direct e-mail or forum section for the discussion of time travel, but as a side note to whoever has the ability to update the website the page for ClamWin Portable (https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable) states it was stolen from the year 20,008. I assume flux capacitors were involved.

good flash drive

Submitted by PilotBill on August 9, 2008 - 9:29am

I am looking for a well made, reasonably fast USB drive for portable apps, any ideas? It seems the advertised fast drives are great for large files not the smaller ones of a portable app. I am using a San Disk Titanium and it works well but it's getting old and flaky.

Thanks, Bill

hi I have just brought a 20gig hard drive and was just wondering if PA would be the best thing to put on it.

i have been using PA on my 2gig flash drive, i am use to it and think it is a wonderful program.

I just want to know if there is a better application more suited to portable hard drives than PA so can you help me out. i have not really found out any good sites for help.

Newbie Question on Renaming the drive

Submitted by wired40 on August 7, 2008 - 12:47pm

I love the portable apps suite and have installed it on several flash drives. The problem I have is that in explorer it shows the name of each drive as "PortableApps.com". I would like to be able to distinguish which drive is which without looking at the drive contents. Is there any way to rename it like maybe PortableApps.com_1,_2 or maybe _a,_b etc. or something along those lines? I've tried using the drive manager but it doesn't even show that name.

Thanks

Which is the better of the two - MPlayer or VLC Media Player?
And which Open Source Media Player is the most popular and most used(taking into account all open source media players and not just the two I have mentioned above) whether it be single platform or multi-platform is not to be taken into account.And all open source media player whether it be video/audio player or just audio player is to be taken into account.
