Does the Portable Apps menu use an emulator to work? If so, why?

The idea...

Upon each load the menu auto-scans the PortableApps folder and adds new EXEs (and removes ones that no longer exist) while still following 1 rule... never re-add any EXE you have previously manually removed. Thus the "chaff" is not re-added.

Good?

I downloaded the mod v. r30 of the PortableApps menu, and tried to rename apps, but when I later restarted the menu the old name is there again, any solutions?
I tried with back up and stuff but it won't work.

Can PAM have an optional menu model like 'Windows -> Start -> All Programs' where you can see all your programs and categories/folders, and simply hovering on and off a category/folder causes it to automatically expand and collapse?

I am still using ASuite because it works this way.

When you have a lot of programs in PAM, even if you categorize them in one of the mods, finding them takes a lot of mouse clicks, or key presses, scrolling (and expanding and collapasing if using a mod) and it is like looking at the world through binoculars.

I downloaded and installed the Standard Suite. It installed perfectly on a freshly formatted drive. Then I started download more apps like 7zip, Eraser, Keepass, etc. I put them on the root of the jump drive, then went to the PA.com menu and told it to install each of them. A dos screen comes up for a fraction of a second, then nothing else happens. Period. I have told it to install, gone out for dinner, and come back to find nothing added to my menu. Obviously something isn't working right. I have tried each program (and tried freshly re-Dling them from this website) with no success.

I wondered if it wouldn't come in handy if the PortableApps Menu would have an eject button, instead of a close button.
This way you could easily eject the USB drive if you want to.
If you programmers really love that big closing button, I'd be satisfied with a right-click-on-the-tray-icon menu, in which the option of ejecting the USB drive can be found.
One more thing about the closing button, does it have to stop the application? I always have the intention to click it when I want to close the menu.

I've just started trying to use PortableApps on with Win2k and can't get it to work. It just says:

PortableAppsMen.exe has generated errors and will be closed.....

I searched for this error, and found a thread that says that the bug should have been fixed in a prior version. So should it be working then???

(I should get a newer computer, I know...)

I enjoy using portable apps. However I can only use it on Windows machines. I use Ubuntu Linux on my laptop. I would like to see portable apps being able to be cross platform compliant. Just thought that I would throw that idea out. I would like to suggest this to my customers that come to [link removed] but if they use anything other than windows it won't work.

is it possible to add folder like music and video.

for example,i wanna add a folder named Downloads and see this on PAM.

Hi there,

I really like what you guys are doing, but one thing really frustrates me about the menu. Because of that fact that it automatically detects and lists all program exe's in the program folders it lists a number of exe's that should not be listed. Could it be possible to include into the menu's options the ability to 'permanently' remove unwanted exe's from the list? I think this kind of update is essential in order to tidy the whole thing up.
