General Discussion

I would like to express my appreciation to you, John Haller, for creating and maintaining such an incredible website, beautifully converted portable apps and an ever-present.............well....presence...on these forums to try and help others.

I need an encrypted vault for my stick. Does anyone here have experience and recommendations with Protable Vault Pro or e-capsule Private Safe? Or is there something better for that purpose at "Portable Apps" or somewhere else?

Both are on U3 Central as "trials".

Time for some upgrades

Here is what i think should be upgraded...

*The apps
-Time for some games
*Bring the search box back!
*More compleat develoment guide

Over the past several weeks, I've had alerts on opening various PortableApps on my desktop PC from Webroot Spy Sweeper (version 5.3.2.2361, fully updated definitions), with Sophos Anti-virus both activated and not activated. The PortableApps have included the current versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, GAIM, Sudoku, and I believe another one, which I can't recall offhand.

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
