Wall paper strech/tile/center

Submitted by tchogan on June 4, 2008 - 2:42pm

Is there a way to tell the launcher to load the wallpaper bmp file centered or tiled vs streched. To change now, you have to let it load and then use desktop properties to change, if needed.

Also, it would be nice to have some Portable Apps logo bmps available to use for desktop wall paper. The wall paper swapper is nice - it reminds me to remove my memory stick before leaving the computer after I have been working for a while. having a Portable Apps bmp would sever as an additional reminder.

Another problem with extended screens.

Hi John

When setting my notebook (XP SP3) to extend my monitor, I get the following error when trying to change the screen resolution of the external/2nd monitor.

The same error also occurs when I open my notebook screen after it was closed. My notebook is set to do nothing when I close the screen/lid.

Securing data on my USB drive

Hi,

I have installed Thunderbird and other apps on my thumbdrive, all seems fine. One question however: Is there a way that I can secure my data on the USB drive either in software or hardware?
If I loose the thumb drive then it seems anyone can access my information, also important if I was to use the GNUCash app for any financial info. If is there any passowrd protect feature available in the platform that would be good.
