General Discussion

My major concern is what portable apps leaves behind on the host computer. If I am using a portable apps browser and surfing the internet at work does it leave a log file somewhere that needs to be deleted? Does the fire wall still log the sites you go to? Is there a primer I can read on this somewhere?

Thanks

Hi, I'm a brand-new user of this suite, and having a small glitch.

I'm using the Standard Suite on a FireLite portable 80-gig USB2 hard-drive. Using Windows XP ServicePack 2 on both computers I have tried this on.

After launching the menu the first time, the icon appears in the systray as expected.

Hey all... I'm working on a general portable app instruction set that's common to all apps. It'll make things easier on our translators (rather than translating it on every app support page). So, I'd love to hear any thoughts on this:

How can I install just the portable apps menu on my stick?

Quick question. Is it pretty easy to create different menu themes? I have seen many themes here, and currently have the WOW theme installed, as it looks really sweet. The reason I want to know is that I am pretty crafty with a computer, and would like to make a Final Fantasy XII theme in the same manner.

Is Adobe Photoshop the program of choice, and is there a repository where I can look up information about this?

Thank you for any help you could be!

I have been looking around for the best flash drive to get to run portable apps on and had settled on the Geil David. However; I could not find this sucker anywhere so I called Geil in Chino California and she told me that they no longer manufacuter flash drives. Any suggestion on what I should buy?

Thank you

I just got my new Ultra FlyDrive 4GB from TigerDirect. I am constantly on the go and this application looks freaking awesome. However, and I can understand why, there are some like-programs and well, other stuff I won't use.

If I download and install the Standard Edition, can I remove a few of the applications that I do not want?

If so, how do I go about doing this?

thanks in advance!

Sorry to bother the group. I've read support page and tried to read as much of this forum as possible.

Having trouble installing the Portable App Suite (standard edition).

I did the following:

1. Downloaded App from this site to SanDisk Cruzer U3 (4GB) with Del Latitude to
the stick directory: Documents/download.

2. Cruzer U3 system mounted as G: drive; Removable Disk partition as H:

3. Clicked on PortableApps_Suite_Standard_1.0.exe file

4. Installer suggested install on root. Navigated to G:\

Hello Group;

I use "TheSage" dictionary on my PC. It is a free download.

I just found out that it is by design portable. It does not right anything to registries or other places on the hard drive. You can in fact uninstall it from your PC after you copy it over to your USB. You just install it on to your PC and then copy the entire directory on to your USB.

PAM picks it up as it only has one "exe" file in the main directory.

Hi,

Silly NuB question here - I've just had a 1Gb drive, and downloaded and installed the 'standard' portable apps install (I also tried the 'barebones' version too).

I click on the 'StartPortableApps.exe' icon - I get the hour glass and then.... nothing....?

I'm probably doing something silly here - can someone tell me what it is?

I'm running Win2k server - and just in case its relevant, Sophos (yak - works machine).

Many thanks

Carl.
