General Discussion

Moments ago, I downloaded Standard edition twice; twice because the md5 did not check out; both md5's were the same. The size of the download is consistent with Standard, but the md5 is the published md5 for the Light version.

I recently stumbled across registry settings that were left behind by my various portable apps (located on my external Seagate e:\)!!!

This caused me no little concern since I use them daily at a location on a machine that I really would prefer to leave no trace behind. Why is this occurring?

To repeat my findings, open your registry editor (Start-Run-regedit). Figure out which letter your external drive is registering as and run a search within the editor (Ctrl+F) and type "driveletter:\" obviously replacing the text of driveletter with whatever it happens to be.
I guarantee you'll be surprised what pathways and stuff is left behind.

Hello!

I was wondering how the PortableAppsSuiteBase manages to display the .ico-files for the folder icon on my USB.

While F is my USB:
F:\PortableAppsSuiteBase\Documents\Desktop.ini
contains:

[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=Contains letters, reports, and other documents and files.
IconFile=..\PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\Icons\folder-documents.ico
IconIndex=0


Even when using the .ico-files inside the PortableAppsSuiteBase folder it doesnt work for my folders. The same thing when adressing even to the PortableAppsSuiteBase folder.

Nevertheless everything works fine (just alike if it was on the hrad disk) as long as I' working inside the PortableAppsSuiteBase folder and use copies or renames of the predefined folders.

Hello,

today I started with using PortableApps and installed it on an external HDD.
All it works and it's brillant. Thanks for it.

Now I have some questions, for them I don't found answers on this Website and Forum.

1. In which folder I should install additional application general? Maybe into subdirectory .\PortableApps\PortableApps\{app dir} of my portableApps installation, isn't it?

2. Where I could find application files with extension -> .paf.exe?

3. Which version of XAMPP I should use and how to I install it? I know that's existing 2 versions for Windows -> XAMPP for Windows and -> XAMPP Lite. Earlier I could install XAMPP Lite on external drives only and not XAMPP for Windows. Was it changed and could I install XAMPP for Windows of external drives today too?

I have setup putty to work with PortableApps. For those who can benefit:

PS- I do not use send-file often. I am sure there is some sort of download limit.

Lemme know how it works (or doesn't).

Regards,
Scott

Morning folks. Fogive me if this has been asked before, I looked, didn't find.

I'm heading through Indonesia for a month and have a camera with a sony memory stick pro duo and a MS>USB adapter.

Can I (and would it be advisable) to use the same memory stick for my email/internet as for my camera? Will it increase the chances of corrupting pictures or infecting it with viruses. Will it decrease my chance of having some keylogger/spyware/virus on the obviously infected internet cafe computer from killing my photos or snooping my bank password if I need to use it? Any suggestions on what to do, where to look, ideas on how to go about this and/or make my life more safe and secure in general?

For you as it is the best mark of portable memories and so that. For my Kingston, because they are economic and are many designs

I found out about this earlier this week and have jumped in with both feet and so far i like what i've seen, so much so I've ordered a 4gb usb stick for 1 of my colleges to use. But, i have a few questions.

I'm surprised there's no security options. From what i've been able to find it seems like there are a few app to secure files but i would like to secure the whole stick. Any ideas as to how i can.

Secondly, Opera-usb. I like opera and thought i'd give it a try and copied it to /PortableApps/opera902en, refreashed the app icons. The first thing i noticed was it included 2 icons. One for GSAR and another for Opera startup. Clicking on the opera start icon results in a command window that points to the usb stick drive letter and stops with "The same position, nothin to do" and an alert box saying it can't find op.com. Opera does work if i go to the disk and double click the operausb.exe

Sometimes my internet goes down while im using it and then i have nothing to do

this could solve this issue

it would also be handy to see all ur favorite sites on a computer that might not have an internet connection
