secured drives

Submitted by PilotBill on October 24, 2007 - 9:59am

Is this possible? I want to use a San Disk drive with hardware encryption and PStart. The idea is to have PStart in the unsecured section and upon starting PStart, have PStart “initiate” the login to the secured section. Also, any negatives in running either Thunderbird Portable or Firefox Portable in the secured section?
Thanks
Bill

Just an idea...

It would be great if someone could make a "practice app", that is an app that has already been made portable. It could include a text file with what registry entries it adds and how to make it portable with step by stp directions. It would really help those not-so-sure coders get started!

Figured I'd start a new thread as the old one was getting a little lengthy.
Plus based on NeoRames Post I'm guessing he's gonna be releasing a few new themes soon.
You will need eithe v.60 of my menu or the R31 MOD I posted in the R30 MOD forum for some of these new themes.
Lets try and stick to the same guidelines as the previous forum.
1. Post only a line or two about your theme\themes.
2. To avoid multiple posts if you have multiple themes, link to a page listing your themes.

I need theme help

Okay, so I downloaded a theme and tried to install only to really royally mess up. How do I do it. I know there are instructions on here someplace but I tried to search and came up with nada.

Thanks in advance.

BTW: John, portable apps are AWESOME. I use them almost exclusively between work and home. You got a great thing here.

The "Suite" works whitin a Secure Drive!

Submitted by Dani-drive on October 22, 2007 - 5:49pm

Hi All,
Newbie here so don't bite too hard:-))
I just wanted to report that the Portable Suite works under Steganos Portalbe Safe.
i.e. I have 4gb USB pen drive and half of it is a secure virtual drive (created beforehand with SPSafe)
I wanted to try first... because what's the point of having half of your office & personal staff in the hands of someone else when the USB gets lost or stolen.

Question about using zipped folder to secure Portable Apps

Submitted by joesmith07 on October 22, 2007 - 5:25pm

I just learned that you can password protect the files in a zipped folder using Windows XP. Would it be possible to create a single password protected zip folder to place all of the contents of a USB stick in (including the Portable Apps suite) as a means of security?

Experiencing Technical Difficulties With My Flash Drive, Help!

Hey, so I have a Corsair Flash Voyager GT (2 GB.) which I purchased a few months back (July). It has performed flawlessly until last week, when, at random times, the contents of the drive would seemingly "disappear" in windows explorer. Any file transfers to or from the drive would also simultaneously fail.

When I open "My Computer," (where the drive name and icon are still visible) and look at the properties of the drive, it shows that the drive size is 0.0 MBs, with 0.0 MBs of free space left.

There should be one forum for non-members to post

When I first signed on I had a problem getting my registration information by Email. Probably caught in a filter. I tried again with the same result. Finally on the 3rd attempt I used another Email address and Got in. The problem was that when I had the issue there was no place I could post and no contact address for this type of issue. Now the database is sitting there with a dead account for no good reason other than it's taking up space.
