USB Menu

Submitted by King Tut on April 27, 2007 - 7:55pm

I need a USB menu... I don't really like PAM, as it's not customizable enough amongst other reasons, PStart gives me a warning every time I open the program on a different computer and the data becomes corrupted.. and ASuite works, but when I put the folder onto my flash drive and run it, it doesn't work (same whenever I install it directly to the flash drive)... I was happy with PStart until it started malfunctioning...and ASuite looked nice until it didn't work ..:(

Which proxy can bypass my ISP firewall???

Submitted by topdog9926 on April 27, 2007 - 7:25pm

Hello,

My ISP has a firewall that blocks access to ALL secure sites (https.) I think that's port 443. Before now I have used http-tunnel.com to get around this, but they are having issues. The only other app that has come close to being an alternative is your-freedom.net but their service is crappy.

I have also tried web based proxies but they don't do the job well enough.

Can anyone here pls recommend a proxy software that can bypass my ISP firewall. Any help appreciated

Questions about PortableApps Suite

Submitted by chobo2 on April 27, 2007 - 5:21pm

Hey

I have a couple questions about the PortableApps Suite(the program that puts everything in a nice menu)

Right now I am using the u3 menu(I like it alot) but that technology seems not to be taking off and not many programs exist for it(that are free) so I am just looking at this for an alternative.

Questions:

1. Does this menu launch automatically when usb key is plugged in?
2. Does this have the ability to have password protection?

Way of tracking which version of what is installed ?

Submitted by shookmon on April 27, 2007 - 4:50pm

Does anybody have slick way of tracking automatically the versions of all their portable apps?

I'm starting to be concerned that with multiple USB keys (my wife and I for now) that I'm not going to easily know what needs to be updated. I'm planning that I'll get her key once a month-ish and run all the updates. Other than a document with all the info, or opening each one individually, does anyone have a better way of keeping the apps updated?
