General Discussion

i'm in a travelling time
and using portableapps on pubblic internet places
really makes me feel safe... was some time that i was looking to find a portable solution to keep my data safe
anyway
i set up a truecrypt volume on my usb key
where i put a portableapps suite adds some more of available usefull apps
now i'm testing it
and here's the problem:
many times i can't not remove my usb key
because is still in use
_for me is not_
so the only way is to took it out
but is not really the best solution i guess
i believe that someone other have already met this problem

Hi all

I've just deleted accidentally the StartPortableApps.exe, is it possible to download just the portableApps-starter?

thank for all help

KMP is closed a closed source freeware, but it does run portably. I just thought I would put it up here to see if anyone has anything better than this that is fully portable.

I created a autorun program, that only runs a specified application(s) when it detects an internet connection. I use my drive in a variety of places and not all of them have internet. I had set my Thunderbird and other apps to autorun, but got tired of them popping up even when I didn't have internet So I wrote a small program that detects a connection, and optionally asks you if you would like to start your applications, if there is no connection nothing happens.

Is there a way to create an installation package for installing the portableapps software and a customized set of applications on 50-100 USB thumb drives? I would like to make this package available so users could easily run an installation and have it install the necessary mobile software into a portableapps format without having to selectively download and install the software. Also, is there a way to package updates for the different mobile application software as updates become available?

All,

I have read some posts regarding which drives are good for Portable apps, and I wanted to share my experience. I run most of my apps as portable apps on my USB drive, so everything will run exactly the same at work and at home. I even have some old legacy Windows apps that I run entirely from my USB drive. I had a 2 year old 2 GB Lexar Lightning drive that I was happy with, but I needed more space, so I researched which drives were supposed to be fast.

can't belive this app, will this work when i bring it to a computer with admin rights? how can they not stop it?

Some of you may already know, but those of u that havent heard of darksusb USE CAUTION WHEN USING COMPUTERS AT SCHOOL OR AT THE LIBRARY. So far i have heard that this Trojan originated from mexico. I recently got it from my school while using the computer in my engineering class. I scanned my usb and it was never detected by Norton or Mcafee, so far the only scanner that will remove it is ClamWin that is found on this site (thanks 4 saving my usb) I will tell you what the trojan did to my usb.

I would like to be able to download a package that had all the apps installed already, large flash drives are becoming more the norm ($30 for an 8gb drive) and I'd like to have the complete collection of apps with me, for those times when you need an app that you might not usually use.

What I see in the list of the portable app menu is like:
- Foo Portable
- Bar Portable
- XXXX Portable

What's the reason for adding "Portable" string after each application's name?
