Changing the Name of my Flash Drive

Submitted by Portable Me on August 11, 2009 - 2:31pm

I recently installed the latest PortableApps.com Platform on my flash drive.
Since then, the name of my drive has been 'PortableApps.com'.
I have tried everything to change it back, but once you rename it, it reverts to 'PortableApps.com'.
Does anyone know how to permanently rename their flash drive with the latest Platform installed?

Thanks.

Well my previous topic seems to have disappeared when I went to update it so I guess I'll just post it again... if it was deleted it would be nice if someone would let me know (and why) so, y'know, I wouldn't make the same mistake. It's hard to learn from mistakes if you're not sure if it was a mistake to being with.

Sync iPhone or any other mobile phone with portable application

Submitted by maxphone on August 11, 2009 - 10:17am

The basis: laptop with lotus notes installed and no admin rights and no synch software installed.
The Question: is there a software that syncs Lotus Notes on the Laptop with a USB-application (guess yes, if yes which one) and a USB application that sync's with the mobile, google, yahoo or any other service?

Big ideas for the PortableApps.com Platform (long read)

Aside from categories, which I know y'all are sick of hearing about (and this will be the last mention of them in this topic), here are some ideas I've been tossing around for a future version. By future I don't mean 2.0 or 2.5 or 3.0, I mean... an idealized vision of where I think the platform should be headed. In my opinion, of course.

Wallpaper swapper and Dual Monitors

Submitted by benway6 on August 9, 2009 - 7:23am

Hey all. As it stands, portableapps loads and unloads my wallpaper when I insert and remove my USB. Problem is it doesn't work correctly with dual monitors. As it is set now, it takes your image and tries to duplicate it across both montitors - never quite looking right. I created a 'double' side .bmp and placed it, but it just scrunched that to one monitor and duplicated it on both screens.

Is the (increasinly standard) use of dual monitors going to be addressed in a future release? That would be great because it has enormous potential.
