Hi all.

Is it possible to have subfolders in the menu? Something like Office->Writer...

Thank you
Chris

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.

This is a note for all users in the PortableApps.com Community:

I was out looking for a different file manager and noticed that Free Commander has a PA version hosted on the official site. Just wanted John to be aware that others are jumping on the bandwagon too.

Does that mean you could maybe offer to link to it from PortableApps.com?

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.

any idea when the new suite is coming out

[Topic clarified by mod Tim]
was "new suite"

I have Thunderbird on my Eee PC and I have installed Thunderbird Portable on my PC desktop. The only short cut that I can find to click on to bring up my Thunderbird email is the .exe file and of course the just keeps installing the program. I am missing the short cut some where to click on to bring it up.

Thanks,
Bob

hi guys,

my idea is to create a theme for FF3 that looks similar to the original FF "Strata".
but the colors off the main buttons are changed to PA.com colors (Like "Strata Vista") and the icon set which are used in the new PA Platform.

so you can see on start up from firefox if you are using the host FF or the Portable
