Smithtech , or anyone else who might know...

I have a 1GB Cruzer Micro that I had successfully changed the autorun drive to launch applauncher.exe . I decided to try and use the Portable Startup utility rather than applauncher. I made the iso installed it and now the autorun drive is no longer seen as a CD drive. Any ideas on how to fix that, or is it broken?

UPDATE: You can recover the CD partition by using the older LPinstaller and a custom iso.

It's always important to make backups of your files, we all know that. But I was wondering about this: sometimes when things don't go as planned there could be a slight change of losing some files when using an application. While often these ar just a few settings sometime this potentially could be more important.

i have gone threw on i have found over 70209 users, does anyone know the official number?

Hi,

if I use portableapps is there anything saved on the host computer? What do I have to do to make sure that after unpluging nothing is left on the host computer?
thanks in advance

Firefox is open source, right? Then why are there so many licensing agreements? We use the company name and the phrase "portable edition" in the menu, we cannot remove auto update, the homepage can not be Portableapps.com by default, and third parties may not modyfy it. What is with that?

is there anyway to change the color of the start menu? also is there anyway to remove the portableapps.com website from the top of the start menu?
thanks
Shawn

I think it's about time we did a forum reorganization. Especially now that we're bring on more and more apps. The one forum per app model just won't work.

So, we're left with a decision.

One "PortableApps.com App Support" Forum - One big app support forum where people can ask questions.

Category Support Forums - Broken down by category based on our app categories (Accessibility, Development, Games, etc).

I am new to Portable Apps and would like to know how to create my own apps for my USB drive. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks much!!

I was just wondering, what are the benefits/drawbacks/differences of each. I am currently using R31, but I was wondering if I should go to R30 or PAM 1.1
I was just concerned that some of my configurations might be lost if I did change. Also, will my themes [for R31] work with the other ones?
Thanks

Are there problems with opening a portable exe while on a public computer. I travel with a motorcycle and I'm tired of bringing my lappie. I have partitioned a 2.5 enclosure so I could install Ubuntu on one drive with my data on separate drives. I did this in the hope that I could boot into Ubuntu on a library computer but you can't boot because you don't have admin rights to change the boot order so......

So I'm hoping I can install portable apps on the drive and use these apps to access my enclosure data.

Will a public computer allow me to open a portable exe?
