Hi there,

I'would like to know if a freeware can have his line on the list of applications on PortableApps.com, or if the Applications list is only fill in with GNU license?

'cause if i've got a portable freeware(not open-source) how can i share it for portableApps.com?

thx

How much does running applications on a flashdrive ware down the flash memory? Is the flash memory only used when saving documents, or when running applications? If someone can explain the whole process it would be really helpful.

I already tried using the Search but wasn't able to find anything if it has been posted already. I know someone made a thread about iPod but this concerns flashdrives.

Anyone know a good Proxy that isn't blocked at schools, work, ect. I used to use www.flowz.net but it's now categorized as "chat/forum" and is blocked.

I downloaded it but I do not want it anymore. I deleted all the files but The drive wont let me change its name. It will continue to say PortableApps for the name even after trying to rename it. The icon also wont disappear... How do you get rid of this? please help...

I'm new to Portable Apps and I'm experimenting with a few Portable options from Portable Apps to Ceedo and U3. I installed Portable Apps to my thumb drive and it works fine on my personal computers, but when I try to connect to a hotel business center with computers that are more locked down, I can't get it to start up. Any ideas? I get a message that there has been an error and windows explorer needs to restart.

I downloaded the Base edition to my flash drive and then downloaded several portable apps to my desktop. I then installed them on my flash drive. None of them appear on the menu. What am I doing wrong. I didn't install them using the "install a new App" option. FAQ says something about directories but its Greek to me. Can anyone help.

Hey all,

I were to create a variant of the PortableApps Suite and include Floola (an iPod-manager) with it, it is not opensource (but I would have the author's permission of course!)? And then distribute it.

Hope this is the place for the info.

Just stumbled upon this for my thumb drive.

Works great but in options you have to change the path to opening book or you get an error on startup.

Which AntiVirus do you use and why?
Personally I use ESET NOD32 because it got some excellent reviews.
It seems quite a few people use Avast, how good is their product?
I used Symantec for years, but their products have been going down hill the past couple years.
