General Discussion

Hey all. Sorry, I haven't been around the forums for a few days and haven't done any updates. My best friend was hit by a car on Friday night... it was pretty bad. It looks like he'll be mostly ok, but he's still in the hospital and may be for another week. I've been spending most of my time there since it happened.

Hi, I'm new to this forum but I'm totally addicted to portable programs. It's a shame that there still are so many programs that need to be installed

And that's exactly what I wanna ask you guys about. (I have searched this forum a couple of days ago and my search came up empty so I hope I'm not asking something that has been posted under different words)

I use a Windows Explorer replacement. Because of this, the right sidebar links are next to useless to me since they launch in Windows Explorer. It would be nice if I could change those to launch in my Explorer replacement by modifying the launch command.

Just a thought.

I have my default Windows font size up a notch from the default and it really screws up the look of the launcher. The right column is misplaced and the close button is not on the right "coordinates" to actually close the app.

It's not a huge deal since it's still all usable, but I thought I'd mention it. Screenshot:

I've been browsing on file managers here. Seems freeCommander comes up as a good one that many use. So I tried it. But on the PortableApps menu, I get an uninstall for freeCommander. I tried deleting the uninstall and it got it off the menu. Is it safe to actually delete the uninstall or not? Thanks!

These are a few programs from my "must-have" list that I have been carrying around.

Free Commander
K-meleon - "pocket" version - http://www.mc-fadzean.fsnet.co.uk/computing/kmeleon.html
Fractal Explorer
YoGrep
IrfanView
Popcorn
NeoMem (TreePad works too)
EDXOR

If you use Firefox then you can search the Portable Apps Forums now using the search box. Just go to http://www.rollyo.com . Click Create Search Roll on the top of the page, fill out the form. In the sites to search box put this link in it: https://portableapps.com/search/node/ Then click create search roll. Then click Tools on the top of the page and click Add Rollyo to your Firefox toolbar. Then click the name of your roll and you are good to go. Works like a charm.

I just got a 4 GB flash drive and I can't remove it from my win 2000 pc at work without getting a blue screen and a BAD POOL CALL ERROR.

If I try to stop the device, it crashers and gives me the error, and if I pull it out of the PC I get the error.

any ideas?

Tt works fine on 2 other identical Win 2000 PCs at work, and a XP home and XP pro.

Do anyone know any portable p2p networking software or anyone can write one?
It seems pretty useful since i use a lot of computers other than my own.

I've just got myself a U3 flash drive. I know it is possible to uninstall U3, is it possible to reinstall it if I decide I prefer it?

Thanks
