My portableapps runs slowly

Submitted by Revontulet on September 20, 2009 - 9:22am

Hi !

Well my problem:

I've got an 8GB pendrive, and I've installed there the portableapps.
When I'm installing an app, the installation runs very slow, and take some time, but that's not all.
When I try to run an application, I click in the icon, but the application doesn't run till the minute or two minutes after clicking. Inmediatly opens the image with the program and the name of the app, but the app doesn't work till the minuteor 2 minutes.

Is that normal? How can I do to run the programs faster??

Thanks

Hi,

My registration to this forum is very new (few minutes).
I'm from France, so please forgive my approximate english.
I use portable applications since very short time.

So, my trouble today is to add a shortcut in the left part of the PortableApps Menu.
Especially, I would like to launch the Thunderbird address book.

The syntax of that command is : ThunderbirdPortable.exe -addressbook

Is there anyone who knows how to proceed to have this command in the left part of the menu as shown in the picture link below ?
