would it be possible to make a program that integrates with Filemon etc and reroutes the requests?

also check out my standard procedure:
Convert apps to portable

What is this whole ApponKey thing? The user is spamming.

now I know that its impossible to autorun off a usb
but can any programs do this?

@John please answer my post on the beta testing forums

Hey, this isn't really pertinent to finding a decent spreadsheet, but I just found a port of the original VisiCalc spreadsheet program that was on really old IBMs. It has absolutely ZERO functionality, but it is cool to be able to see what was cutting edge back then. It runs in the DOS window in Windows. I am also happy to say that it is under 200 KB and runs great on a USB stick! Follow the directions on the site carefully.

Any reason why your apps wouldn't work under WindowsCE?

Since many of us don't know what is on the computers that we plug our drives into, it is good to know what kind of exploits are out there. Most of you have probably heard of the recent WMF vulnerability. Some of you may know that Microsoft only patched all OSs after Windows 2000. Even less of you know that the vulnerability was a backdoor created by Microsoft. Don't believe me? It was discovered by Steve Gibson, a known security pro. I have a story on it at my blog, with a link to the transcript of the "Security Now" podcast where Mr. Gibson broke the news.

On your mozdev pages you say you r moving in. Is this still true?

Sorry about announcing here Portable Firefox OS X and Portable Thunderbird OS X, but as Mac OS X old user, I've noticed that OS X apps were missing.
My volunteer effort is to fill this gap.
I hope that an OS X section could be open here and/or that we can collaborate to have all other OS X portable apps missing.

Thanks, G.

Does anyone know if they compressed it using 7-Zip and UPX? It is a good broswer, but it is quite large at around 22MB.

P.S.- John, they used your launcher. (Slightly modified)

I read recently in the Request Apps forum of two firewalls you can run from your USB drive (ghostwall and AS3 Personal Firewall). I was wondering if anyone could tell me how these work? What, if anything, needs to be done to configure these apps to run from your USB. At home I have firewalls (software and hardware) on both my computers, but in the event I bring my external drive to surf with Portable Firefox while travelling, I would like to be able to quickly start a firewall while I surf and then stop when I'm done. I encourage all my friends and family to use firewalls, but some just don't want to use them, hence my interest in these portable firewalls.
