JAlbum

Submitted by ladiver on March 21, 2007 - 9:43pm

Hi. I have recently discovered Portable Apps and have been assembling Open Source and Freeware programs on my USB Drive.

One program that I use a lot is called Jalbum. The website is at:
http://jalbum.net/

JAlbum is a program that allows you to create photo albums of your pictures that you can upload as a website.

It is freeware and I have been using it from my USB Drive without any problems until I tried to launch it from within the Portable Apps Menu. The .exe file shows up, and when I click on it, the program does not launch.

TrueCrypt Launcher - Run as Administrator

Submitted by RedCider on March 21, 2007 - 9:12am

I know, I know... TrueCrypt is already portable. But it can NOT be run in traveller mode without administrative privileges.

So there is a way to launch it without switching accounts with right klick an run as... or via console "runas /user:USERNAME TrueCrypt.exe".

I know it's possible to do that with a batch, but first of all a batch isn't recognized by the portable apps menu and second i want it to start via autostart function.
