I'm between computer user and computer nerd (I mean that in the best way possible), so pardon me if this sounds stupid, but can I turn any application into something that doesn't necessitate using system files?

Hey, I looked hi and low for this topic and couldn't find it. What I would like to do, is to be able to boot with bart pe, and run the portable apps off my thumbdrive, but when I try to run them, I get a "OPENGL32.DLL" ERROR. Any possible fixes? Thanks.

Hello everyone.

If I only need OpenOffice's: Writer, Calc, Impress what should I do to leave only these apps in the package?

Thanks.

Is it OK if I repacked PAM with some handy application. I know that PAM is opensource but the logo isn't. So is it legal?

is there a portable apps template available to create a skin for the portable apps menu? I tried looking here:
https://portableapps.com/search/node/portable+apps+menu+template

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 ..:(

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

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?

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?

Is there any way to make the Portable Apps look better on a wide-screen laptop soit lines up in the corner.
