Changing Icons

Submitted by bookmunkie on February 8, 2008 - 1:39pm

I like visual consistency. The icons that come with the menu for Documents, Music, Pictures, etc, are very nice, so I edited one to use for my directory containing Autohotkey scripts with the hope of doing similar things in the future for my other directories. It seems that a directory's icon is defined by the Desktop.ini file it contains. So, to make an icon for my Scripts directory, I put the new icon in the same place as the others, grabbed a Desktop.ini, changed the infotip and the icon it points at, and put it in my Scripts directory.

Closing Menu

Submitted by eded on February 2, 2008 - 3:11pm

When I try to close the menu by clicking on the X in the lower right corner nothing happens. I have to close the application using Windows Task Manager (ctrl/alt/del) so I can remove the USB thumb drive. Anyone know a solution? eded

Strange problem with Portable Apps Menu and USB Mouse

Submitted by Michael Davis on January 18, 2008 - 1:10pm

My mouse will regularly stop working when I open the portableapps menu. I've tried the latest beta and even the GeekMenu alternatives but all behave the same. I can work all day with the USB drive in the port and the menu program running but it will only work a few times after the USB drive is inserted and after that, it will lock up the mouse every time I open the menu and - if I pull the plug for the mouse and reinsert - every time the menu closes.
