Congratulations John (and everyone that helped), PortableApps Suite 1.0 made Maximum PC's 5th Annual Softy Awards. It's in the April 2007 issue. Definitely well deserved.

Hi, I'm new here

Submitted by ophir on March 7, 2007 - 7:31am

Hi all.....
This stumble couldn't have come in a better time since I'm leaving for the next 2 months and want to keep working on the road.
I heard about a special USB drive by sandisk that you can install software on and use it anywhere. Is this what this application is about?
Can I install any software I want on it and use it elsewhere? or is it specific software that I saw published on the right side of the main page?

Thanks

Can U3 apps usable in portableapps.com?

Submitted by erothoff on March 7, 2007 - 2:09am

I have been reading the forums a lot on how to get Skype working in portable apps, and actually had a U3 USB drive for about two weeks. (Bought it at OfficeMax and returned it two weeks later because I didn't like it. No problems.) And I see that Skype has a U3 application. So my question is, could a wrapper or launcher be written to allow U3 applications to work in portableapps.com. U3 claims to be a standard, so I don't think there is any copy infringments,

Auto Start PortableApps Menu

Submitted by buddy2z on March 5, 2007 - 9:24pm

I am sorry if this has already been posted, but I have read many different answers on how to do this, and I want a specific, clear answer.

I was wondering if there is any way that I can get the PortableApps Menu to start automatically when I plug in my USB Flash Drive, like the U3 platform does. When I installed the Menu, the file autostart.inf changed my drive name to PORTABLEAPPS (G:), so I deleted it. I do not know if that stopped it from running, but is there any other way to have it AutoStart?
