Hi,

Anyone who knows how to set the personal picture? (version 1.1)
Beceause this is not helping :S :
" Personal Picture - Now you can personalize the menu with your own personal picture in the upper right corner. Any 48x48 bitmap or JPG will work. Just click it to set it. "

Sow love to have some explanation soon, ty!

Thank you John for the first edition of the PortableApps.com Newsletter!
I just discovered it in my mailbox and was truly thrilled.

Congratulations for finally getting it done and out the door. I am really looking forward to all the new releases and the next one.

The company that I work for is looking at giving away ThumbDrives for our end of the year giveaway. We were at a trade show a moth or so back and those seemed a real hit. I was wondering if it were permissible to put the Apps Suite on them. It will be made clear that it was FREE software that came from Portableapps.com and links to the project page.

Our business caters to pilots who use public terminals in numerous airports across the country and this would be very useful for them.

Hey all,

I have an Adobe Flash program that's compiled to an .exe. I've put it in portableapps, but the menu item shows up as "Shockwave Flash" and not what the exe is named. How can I fix this? I've seen associated appinfo.ini files with program info, but it dosn't seem to affect what's shown in the menu list.

We're using portableapps to show off our company demos, but having a list of 10 items that say "Shockwave Flash" is no good at all.

Hi Guys

I've been using Thunderbird, firefox and a few other things on my usb stick for a while now. I would like to upgrade from my 2Gb stick to and 8Gb one but I am having problems getting the apps to move without corrupting. I know i can reinstall onto the new drive but i don't want to lose existing application data. In particular thunderbird, as i don't want to lose my mail and settings.

Hi,
I am on a dial-up connection and for large downloads, I have to depend on a download
manager. I use the highly touted DownThemall extension in both versions of my FF -
2 & 3. I've noticed a change in mirrors at SourceForge - ex: the Virgina mirror is gone, replaced by one in New York. This isn't the issue, but since this change, my
downloads won't pause whenever I'm ready to shut my system off. I have to cancel the
download and this is preventing me from downloading some of the larger things like
Open Office and PA menu light. I was curious if anyone else has this problem, if so,

Hi all
At work we have 'Web Marshal' installed to stop us doing anything on the internet.
Will Portable Apps help me get around this problem & can it be traced?

Cheers for any info

after searching the forum here before, for the best usb stick, since one month now, i have a Rally Turbo 4gig and i like to say that this stick is amazing fast!
my transcend 2gig went nearly to the bin
so if you are unsure what stick to buy, be sure that the Rally turbo 4gig works very fine.
hope it helps some
