Hi,

First of all this is a great app.

Long story short. We have our database and we have a sql server installed on the computer.

Now i was just wonder...we sometimes give out demos of our database that we have on a cd and the users must install sql on their computer to view our demo, other wise they can not use our demo (our demo is a website and our database for those with no internet access).

Would it be possible in any way to have a sql server and our demo in a portable USB stick?

Is there way to select or deselect the items in start menu.

Mind Mapping software

Some time ago someone asked about Mind Mapping software for Portable Apps. Apologies for not continuing the thread, but I couldn't find it!
Well, I have been using Personal Brain for some years and today successfully installed onto my usb stick and ran it on my thoroughly locked down company PC. I honestly don't know if it qualifies as a Portable App or as a "just works", but it seems to do the biz. It launches from the PAM and allows me to choose where to keep its files.

Help! Apps can't run

Submitted by LaRoza on April 9, 2007 - 8:38am

I need help.

At home, I do not have an Internet connection. At home, I have two computers, one with Ubuntu and one with Vista.

I previously had my portable apps on a 1 GB flash drive. I recently bought a 4 GB Cruzer Micro.

It has U3 on it, but because I had Vista and Ubuntu at home, I didn't realize it.

I transfered all of my portable apps onto this flash drive.

Now I am at school and the only thing that shows up on explorer is a U3 cd drive, which doesn't work.

How can I reclaim my flash drive?
