Hi to everybody,

I experienced a problem similar to the one described in this post:

But for some unknown reason I cannot reply directly to it.

I downloaded Portable Apps Base Edition and I wanted to use it to restore my three weeks old backup (I have lost my thmbdrive :-().

I have tried the operation on two different machines with the same results: restore stopped to OpenOfficePortable folder.

Just wondering if theres any portable serial number or cd key storing software. ive searched forums here and at portablefreeware, so im guessing theres not any software out there, but again just wondering.

I saw the tutorial at Lifehacker about using Microsoft Foldershare to COMPLETELY syncronize (bookmarks, cookies, extensions, themes, etc.) different firefox installations between machine. However, it seems as if you have to run an installer to use Foldershare, and obviously, you can't always do that.

Has anyone had any luck using this program without installing it?

Hello,

I have a question about the devices which you can choose for portableapps.
I don't know if portableapps is useable on a DVD-RW with all its functions. That means that every function works. So changes should be changed after every setting.
Does it work?

Hello, I am new to Portable Applications, so I know almost nothing about them .

I've set up a little thing for requests to index them and count the amount of requests.

John, is there any chance you could integrate something like this into the site? It would be really handy...

I know this is going to read like FUD, but I'm a huge PortableApps fan and was a devoted user until recently. My hope is that someone will know something about what happened with my install so that I can get back to using portable apps again.

I'm a library school graduate student. Between my internship, the computer lab at school, classroom machines, and my home machine, I regularly use between 4 and 7 different computers a week, almost all of them XP. PortableApps has saved me dozens hours in just a few months and made me significantly more efficient than I could have been without it.

Possibly add a Rename feature, security so that no one can use the menu without entering a password and also different Themes to change its look.

hi guys,

i search the original apps installer from John (i think its an NSIS thing)and cant find that. search since 30 minutes. please help me. i will package my themes in an installer.

Pidgin is a cross platform messenger, originally from the linux/gtk world. So it doesn`t use windows system features like registry. It`s very similar to Gaim. Also it`s very easy to be made portable, there are instructions on the pidgin website.

But it`s still not hosted on portableapps.com, less important things got added before.

So what`s wrong with pidgin?
