Dear Friends,
I'm a new portable apps user. I've installed some portable apps from other vendors. Some of the directories in portable apps directory contains more than one .exe files. One of them is the program it self the others are helping programs but all the exe's appears in the srat menu of portable apps.
Is there way to select or deselect the items in start menu.

Mind Mapping software

Submitted by AndySmith on April 10, 2007 - 7:49am

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?

I want to use the menu at work but there are some apps that are on the network so we only have shortcuts or .bat files linking to them. I have tried to play around the get them to work but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Firewall setting

Submitted by David_L on April 6, 2007 - 7:21pm

I have PC Tools Firewall Plus installed and it won't allow me to access the internet using Firefox Portable or to update ClamWin. I can turn the firewall off and everything works fine, and everything works fine on my PC at my job. I'm sure it's a setting in Firewall Plus I need to correct. Does anyone know what settings within the firewall I need to adjust? I get no logs in the firewall and it doesn't give me any popups asking if I want to allow or disallow anything when I try and update ClamWin or use Firefox Portable. Thanks.
