General Discussion

I've created a directory underneath PortableApps, and installed a program there. The program appears in my menu, but just an icon, no description. The reason: There's no "Description" in the file attributes. Is there a way I can change the file discription attribute in a file? (File Properties brings it up, but won't let me change it.

I stumbled accross a standalone lyric tool that detected songs playing in Winamp and found the lyrics. But I can't find it now. Anyone know of a small no fuss program like that?

Thanks for the help

Anyone know of any portable MP3 players? I saw VLC on here but I'd prefer an audio only player.

i installed the software, and now the stick is dead.

anyone know why?

but I'm going to ask it anyway. I bought a 2mb Sandisk USB loaded with U3. The software choices they offer are a bit limited. If I Uninstall the U3 software and just start over by downloading the portable apps suite, will it have the same functionality or does it need a U3 type interface to run?

I haven't used one of these before.

Thanks.

Please don't yell at me - I did search before posting this.

I've read the posts and it seems that all encryption software requires admin priviledges so I just wanted to find out what others are doing for creating a minimum level of security. If we can't encrypt - then what can we do? Please don't list only free solutions. I don't care if I have to pay for something if it will work.

I have several questions:

In these days, I'm thinking to create a portable apps repository system (for example, Dev-C++'s devpak or linux repositories) to simplify install and update software in ASuite 1.5 and fork wPPL 1.5.

But I want to create this project not only for Portable Apps (if John agree) or winpenpack.com and ASuite or wPPL, but other website (winpenpack.com, portablefreeware.com, etc...) and launchers (PortableApps Menu, Liberta AutoStart and others launcher app open source), too.

John (or others), do you want to colloborate for this project?

I guess many of you will know Kaspersky Anti-Virus. It`s imho (!) a good and scanner. You can get more informations about their products on http://www.kaspersky.com/.

It`s a commercial product, their is a free trial version but them want you to buy a license.

This instructions will explain how you can use Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.x in a p ortable way.

http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=11188 - this is a thread in their offical forum. It explains basic things about the beta test of version 7.x, there you will find the download and a ~60 day license key aswell too.

Неплохо было бы объедениться и открыть топик по переводу портативных программ, таких как KeepPass Nvu & KompoZer
