Howto remove Music, Pictures, Videos icons

Submitted by taenia solium on December 4, 2010 - 12:25pm

Hello!

I'm new to PortableApps - I've been using it for less than two weeks - and, after browsing/searching the forums, I didn't find the answer to my "problem".

I want to remove the Music, Pictures and Videos icons from the PortableApps menu.

I've deleted these folders from the Documents folder and PortableApps didn't recreated them after restarting, but the icons remain in the PortableApps menu. If I choose one of these icons, PortableApps does nothing.

Not finding apps in subdirectories

Submitted by Everywhere on November 28, 2010 - 3:34pm

Hello,

I have my apps installed in subdirectories for example:

\PortableApps\Internet\FirefoxPortable
\PortableApps\Office\ThunderbirdPortable
etc.

However StartPortableApps.exe can't find them. Is it possible to make StartPortableApps.exe aware of apps in subdirectories? And better yet list them in a sub-menu relating to the directory?

Thanks.

Big issue with backup/restore

Submitted by areiners on November 21, 2010 - 4:00pm

I need help !

I'm using portable apps already a long time.

beside other applications, my complete private email history was on the stick.
Unfortunately the complete Thunderbird directory on the stick got corrupted yesterday.

Ok so I tried to restore my latest backup. The restore from portableapps took the backup file to restore it without reporting an error. Thought everything is fine. But it did not restore the Thunderbird (which I deleted on the stick before because it was corrupt).

Rerouting folder shortcuts on menu

Hi, I'm new here, though I've been using PortableApps for just under a year now. I'm wondering this: is there any way to reroute the folder shortcuts (e.g. My Documents, My Music, etc) to new locations? I'm wondering because I currently have ProtableApps installed on my MP3 player, and would like for the "My Music" link in the menu to direct to "%root%\MUSIC", instead of "%root%\Documents\Music"

Thanks in advance!
Geoffrey
