PortableApps.com Platform

I'm an enthusiastic user of PortableApps and I'm trying to get a better understanding, in simple terms, of how the system works. The "What is a portable app?" page appears self-explanatory for a single app program but it's only after reading bits and pieces of various threads that I get the impression that personal data may be left behind if a PortableApp is not used within the integrated PortableApps menu.

I love this software and use it all the time, but is it possible to apply a different skin to it, even if it is just color options like black or blue?

Hello, I like your software. But how to create sub folder in a menu for classifiate my portable software and how to change the order?

hi there.

I have a new job and the computer that they gave me don't even see my usb. Do you have any idea what is the problem. ???

I have a 8 gig usb kaser.

Thank you very much

I have two computers and the one I used to install portableapps to my flash drive refuses to run portableapps. On my other computer I could just use the startportableapps program and it created the thing in the system tray. However when I try that on the original computer it won't start in the system tray...

Is this normal or is there a setting that needs to be changed?

I have installed Spybot S&D into my menu by adding it into the PortableApps folder. However, this program is composed of more than one executable, including an uninstall file.

I could delete these, but they are crucial to the program.

Is it possible to remove them from the menu without deleting them? I just want the main app on the menu, which can open all the other .exe's through its GUI.

Thanks for your help (if you *can* help)

Hi all and first, I want to apologize if this is question has been asked before but searching the forum did not answer my question exactly.
I wanted to ask if I can uninstall the Sandisk U3 launchpad from my "Intuix 2 GB U3 drive" while still having the U3 functionality which I want of course since I installed the portableapps launchpad and I like it much more than the dumb U3 launch pad which does not many options IMO regarding managing shortcuts of apps...etc

Hi folks,

Suddenly, my PortableApps menu is only seeing about 1/3 of my programs.
Anyway to recover from whatever happened?

I really like this program and I find myself using it more and more but I am wondering first of all, why does it go to the background once I've executed the application and also, when I select Eject Media, how come it quits the application first?

I am interested in learning the optimum procedure for upgrading a U3-based installation of Firefox 2, Portable Edition (v2.0.0.16). I want to begin using Firefox 3, Portable Edition (v3.0.1), but am concerned because I read on a Mozilla site somewhere that they recommend using a fresh, v3-only profile when switching to version 3 because of some issue that Firefox 3 tends to have with importing Firefox 2 profiles. Has anyone heard anything about this?
